Ii was one of the hardest fights
New York firemen have had and new
err was there more bravery shown.
The fire was in the subbasement OF
the building and for more than two
hours the men fought desperately.
But for the heroism shown many
would have lost their lives.
Tho fire originated In an unex-

light of lanterns found their COM
raGes and struggled with them up the
ladders to sidewalks only to fall

fight after they had got breath of
fresh air.
Nothing could stop them until hos
pital doctors bundled them into am
balances and hurried them away to
tho hospitals. Among those in the
hospital several arc in serious con-
dition. although 1t is thought all will
recover. The streams from the hose
lines could not reach tho fire directly
and It was not until the suh-basemenp

fire was controlled.
