threatening aspect. Acting Chief

saving the storage tanks and adjoin-

kept constantly on the fire. and late
this afternoon, though dense volumes
of smoke still arose, all danger was
passed. 1t was hot work for those
engaged in figting the fire, numerous
instances of exhaustion being noted
among the men. One of them had
his trousers scorched, but fortu-
nately was not injured.
