everything was in readiness to fight
the spreading fire, it was found that
the water pressure was very weak.

While the conflagration was at its
height il was a scene of beauty TO be-

people, who had been aroused by the
shrill whistle sounding the alarm.
While the most of the furniture and
belongings of the staff were saved,
