ored, escaped cremation shortly after
o'clock yesterday morning by jump
ing from a window of his home at No.
9O4 Wolf street, just in the rear of
the car sheds of the Savannah Elec-
tric Company.
The one-story frame house occupied
by Verdrey was burning tiercely on all
four sides when the man was aroused
by the cracking of the flames. More
dead than alive he crawled to the win
dow near his bed and fell outside, a
distance of only three or four feet
Verdrey landed uninjured, but his es-
cape from death was by very narrow
margin.
The fire was discovered by the men
on duty in the electric company's pow
er house. and an alarm was sounded
from box PIP, on Gwinnett and OFT
streets. The southern section of the
fire department responded in short or

men managed to keep the flames in
the building in which they had start

stroyed and will have to be rebuilt.
Investigation by Fire Marshal Mouro

Unless he secures an American war
ship. or some manner of craft not
now in sight, Walter c. Hartridge,
Esq. will be unable to reach the Is
land of zap, in the CaroHnes, to re-
cover the fortune left by David
O'Keefe. the Savannah sailor known
far and wide as the King of zap.
Mr.. Hartridge is at a standstill in
Hong Kong. This information comes
to Savannah by cable. Mr.. Hart
ridges law firm, however, has been
made aware of the fact that some
thing must be done from this end of
the line. Mr.. O'Byrne will go to
Washington to see what can be done.
When he left Savannah, for the pur-
pose of securing the almost fabulous
sums supposed to have been left by
the Savannahian who ruled the Island
of zap, Mr.. Hartridge thought that he
had easy sailing, so far as getting
from Hong Kong to zap was con-
cerned. In this he was disappointed
and now finds himself in China, with
scarcely a chance of getting to the
seat of war, as il were.
a will alleged to have been made
by King O'Keefe is to be opened on
the Island of zap very shortly. Mr..
Hartridge must be present when the
contents of the document are made
public, in order to protect and look
after the interest of the widow and
orphan in Savannah. How he will
reach the island in time is now the
problem. Only one course seems open,
and the United States may have to
transport him to the capital of the
Caroline group Some one will have to
show to the representative of the gov
eminent that Mr.. Hartridge is tied up
in Hong Kong and must be gotten out
in a hurry.
