 Seven dead bodies have beenI recovered. No list of those missing is available and no details are obtainable from the camp, which is cut off from all means of com munication.
 The holocaust occurred in the hotel used ;St Camp No. 5, operated by the Otter Creek Lumber Company. It was at a. m. when the flames broke forth from "the cook room." and many were injured in jumping from their sleeping apartmentS

The early English cables were rather disappointing and caused larger than looked for and were in good part responsible for the scarcity of new orders.
