forth and the next moment the structure

twenty-gallon tank of gasoline which
exploded Had the blaze occurred a few
moments later Mr.. Herbert and the wom-

The Rory, the fastest boat on Lake
Placid, was built for his son, a Princeton

speed Of twenty-three miles an hour and
was fully insured. The total loss is esti-
