Turning, he saw that the lightning had
struck the building, come in on the
steam pipes, and ignited the lint that had
settled on the pipes, so that all along one
side of the room there was blaze of fire.
The employees were frightened out of
their wits and began to rush for the
door.
Mr.. Carey made his way there, and,
though very small man himself, man
aged to stop the passage way. He Or
dered all back to their machines, and de-
liberately knocked over two or three
c,ose by him who refused to mind; and
then, having checked the panic, he
picked up the fire-extinguisher and put
out the fire before any real damage was
done. But had he joined the crowd in
running away the mill would have
burned, and had he failed to show the
courage he did there would probably
have been personal injury done in the
flight. The danger of fire has to be re-
membered all the time in cotton mills,
and the rules at Willimantic are very
stringent on the subject. All the en-
ployes realize that their chance to work
depends upon the prevention of conAa-
grafton. A few weeks ago the foreman
of the box-making department took a
man into the mill with lighted cigar,
and was summarily discharged in conse-
quence. The act was reported at head
quarters at once by one Of the operatives,
who could not afford to see her own and
several hundred other persons chance of
work imperlcd in such way. She was
rewarded by the company for her fdel-
ity.
