Sierra Madre Villa at the time, in
forms US that its spread was SO
rapid that, in short time, the
plain presented broad sheet Of
flame, the brush and weeds
burning like 80 much dry straw.
Viewed from the Villa the scene,
he says, was grand 10 the extreme,

grace and abandon. The company,
on the whole, 10 up to the standard.
