WANDERINGS OF GILLIAN CRUISERS.

RECOVERING THE BODIES.
FIREMEN AND OTHERS AT WORK ON THE
RUINS.

eEscuE OF LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD BEEN
BURIEL UNDER THE FALLING WALLS.
AS soon as the flames were under control, the
work of recovering the bodies of the unfortunate
persons who were buried beneath the ruins was
begun. About forty manly fremen climbed up
ON the great heap of bricks that filed the street
and began the search for bodies. They
worked like fends, every one of them.
They seemed to realize perfectly that on their
efforts depended the lives Of many Of the poor
wretches who were buried beneath the heap Of
bricks One minutes delay might decide the
fate of some poor fellow.
(. After twenty minutes work the men
saw the dead body of man down
in the heap of brick. Then every man
worked for all he was worth. The hremen
loosened their clothing and cleared away the mass
In an astonishngly short space Of time.
At 2 20 o'clock, the body of a man was found
II was burned and charred so that the features
were unrecognizable. The Chambers Street Hos
pitsl sent a corps of physicians and surgeons who
assisted the iiremen in the search for bodies
They were Charles r. Parker attending
surgeon; Doctors j. r. Manning anc
w. S. Stone, of the House stan
and Dr. j. r. Crofton. ex-hospital surgeon, who
volunteered his services About fifteen minutes
after the first body was taken cut, the hremen
came across another body Of a man, lying under q
niece Of the roofing near the side entrance. The
man was apparently thirty years old His
leos. hands and face were badly burned
The firemen were working brsvely when suddenly
they heard low moan coming from beneath
their feet 1t was feeble and sounded like that
of a child The iremen redoubled their efforts
in clearing away the mass OF bricks and timber
from the spot whence the sound came.

OVERWHELMED THE SECOND TINE.

One of the thrilling as well as heartrending
episodes which happened ten or fifteen minutes
after the explosion was when Assistant Chief
eastman and his fremen had nearly succeeded
in getting one man out. Six seven were in sight,
and if the bricks had remained as they originally
fell, all might have been rescued. As it was, this
one man, who had before him a new chance for
life, was forced to be abandoned. The cries of
the surrounding people alarmed CashmaR and
his men just in time. They ran back out Of
danger and the hanging remnant Of the devas-
tated wall fell in the place where they were
standing Instead OF crushing them, IL dashed
life and hope out of the victims who were SO
nearly extricated from their dangerous position
During the course Of the day two accidents hap
pened TO these who were working 70 fight the
fire and TO remove those who Were Injured. John
