Brandywine Summit, Pa. Aug. o.
Fire which broke out about II. so O'clock
this morning in tent No IL, Asbury ave-
nue., which is occupied by Alfred N.
Pierce, caused much excitement for
short time in camp and had it not been
for the quick work of the men with
buckets 1t would probably have resulted
seriously.
1t happened just at the time that
meeting was being conducted by the
Women's Foreign Missionary Society
aud when the cry OF fire was heard near
ly every man and large number of the
w men in the tabernacle re ponded.
Clouds OF smoke could be seen coming
from the tent and the men at once made
q raid on the nearest tents for buckets.
1t looked at first as though the enti. e
tent and probably others would be de-
stroyed, but by hard work the bucket
brigade got the fire under control, with
but slight loss.
The blaze was caused by an oil stove
which was accidentally upset. The fire
got among lot of leaves which had
collected underneath the tent and was
only put out after part of the floor of the
tent had Eean torn up.
The furniture, which was but slightly
damaged by smoke and water, has been
| moved into vacant tent next door and
will be moved back as soon as the tent
| gets dry. During the excitement large
number OF buckets got lost or exchanged
and the campers had a great time in get
ting their right buckets.
