We ran near chance of having big fire on
Sunday evening last. man passing along Nuu-
anu avenue saw blaze in house opposite Mrs. |
Keoqan he rushed up the stairs and found bed 1
room in flames Fortunately the fire buckets
being at hand the fire was put out before It had |
begun to make any Roadway. Had it once got a |
good hold, with the wind that was blowing, we

presence of coffin on that dismal drive would be
sufficient TO qualify him as its occupant by the |
time he reached his journeys end. Smallpox |
patients are not murderers and il is only the latter
we have ever before heard of as taking a drive |
seated their collins.
