l heard the lamp fall, but did not turn
out till heard screaming, and, on look

that the violin you gave me was III the

big tin box, which was in the middle,
was moved, as the cushions would lie

get it out. l could not lay hold OF it as
lt was in the fire, and l was in bare
feet.) The captain rushed in and said
For GODS sake, out with that box!
there's enough powder in it to blow you
