years before war was declared h

four men who had deserted from the

commander, refused. The British YES

number of Americans. After an lhei-

Captain Philip b. V. Broke, a most
gallant British officer, had commanded
the Shannon for nearly seven years.

fire that wrecked the five-story apart

and Twenty-seventh street Thursday.
The man who lost his life was Dan

man who lived with family named
LOCKER on the top floor. The in
jured are:
Mrs. Alice LOCKER, so years old,
burned about the face and body; con-

Charles LOCKER, her son, 25 years
old, burned about the head and face
Harrison LOCKER, another son, 20
years old, hands and arms burned.
David Mullen, fireman, burned
about the hands and face.
Mullen received his burns in saving
the life of Mrs. LOCKER. He rushed up
ladder to a window from which Mrs.
LOCKER was about to jump to the
ground five stories below. AS he ran
up the ladder the fireman shouted en-
couragement to the woman and begged
her not to jump. Although the flames
were pressing close behind her, she
waited and was reaching out to meet
Mullen's arms when she tainted and
fell back into the blazing room. With
out a moments hesitation Mullen
plunged headlong after her through
the window, from which clouds of
smoke and tongues of flame were
swirling. When he found Mrs. LOCKER
lying unconscious on the floor, her
night clothing ablaze, he beat out the
flames with his bare hands, tore off
his coat and wrapped it around her
to protect her from the flying embers
and the fierce heat and started for the
return. BY this time the room was
almost like furnace, but Mullen sue
ceeded in getting the unconscious wom
an to the window, and then halfway
down the ladder, where his compan-
ions were waiting. Mrs. LOCKER was
rushed to hospital, but she had been
terribly burned, and it is possible she
may not recover.
