was seen clinging to the window Sill
while the flames played behind him.
Smoke again obscured him and he was
seen no more until his body was found
in the ruins three hours later.
Among those thought to have per-
ished are three girls, who appeared at
the windows of the fifth floor of the
building just as the fire engines pass
ed up. While ladders were being
placed to rescue the trio they were
enveloped in flames and smoke and
were seen no more. The fifth and
