out. Shortly after the last of the rescuers
left the second dormitOry there was
counting of heads and the discovery was
made that two baby boys were missing.
John Cody, a fifteen-year-old boy, made
straight for the door, paying no heed to
the warnings of danger. A minute later
Cody came dashing out of the building,
carrying one of the missing boys under
each arm.
FiTemen came from Piermont and Ny
ack, but the best they could do was to
save the hospital, large twO-story build
ing. The sisters and children were con-
veyed by teams to the Blauvelt Convent.
As far as known. but one person actually
persisted in the fire itself. That was Jane,
an old pensioner, aged seventy, who was
asleep in the servants quarters. Helen
Brown and Emma Mackin died from con-
Yulsions that resulted from fright. Kate
Mccarthy was a servant in the convent
and had organic heart disease. She was
badly frightened, collapsed in the grounds
and died later in the day. 1t is believed
Therese Murphy and Mary Brown both es-
capped from the fire, but that the former
became demented and is leading the other
girl through the woods.
There were 326 children in the orphanage.
sixty Of whom were girls, and their ages
ranged from two to sixteen years. Most
of them were from New York City, and
they were in most instances committed by
the Gerry Society and city courts. The
OFphQnage was conducted by the Sisters
Of the Dominican Order.
