under the channel toward Dover, does
he think that 1t could be worked under

started for box.
The f1remen found the flames in the
extreme southeast corner of the top story
of the building, difficult place to get
at. The chemical got stream on and
when it reached the fire it was like tina
snuffing of candle the way the blaze
disappeared. The fire still smouldsred

estimate of loss, but believed the loss
would not exceed $1,000, which is fully
