uneasiness, particularly at the Sherman

They fully expected that the building would go
down in ashes, and it really seemed certain up

prepared for the worst, and their preparation,
while it seemed to their advantage at the time,

guests begin to look around this morning.

thing to eat and place to rest.
At the Spencer House there also some
uneasiness, and the guests watched the flames
anxiously, expecting to be forced to change
their place of shelter. Next TO the people at the
Sherman House they were in the greatest
danger and, while there was little or no packing
