that his tragedy as he himself UNDERSTOOD H.

occupants jumping from the windows.
Lieut. Smith turned his attention a.
once to the saving of life. The horse
blankets on the engine were the first
means at hand, and were used by the
firemen and volunt teer citizens.
The net was put into service also. The
most promising point was under two
windows at the corner of Essex and

The terror-stricken crowd seemed to be
massed there on the fouth story, deaf to
all advice. The life savers called to them,
but their efforts were more in dodgiug
around with the net to intercept tue fall

aimed jump. About twenty wsre landed
in the net after a fashion. though the fall
was, AS "a rule, only broken.
1t was the lieutenant's opinion that not
more than five out of the twenty escaped
injnry. On the Essex side they caught
