Mr.. MacMaster underwent exper-
fence before he succeeded in getting
away from the burned district. In
a way the experience was not en-
tirely novel with him.
: II was at Cripple Greek when the
mining district there was wiped out
in 1896" said Mr.. MacMaster, "and
/ was at Victor two years later when
the flames swept everything in sight
to the level Of the ground for miles
around. But those two experiences
were mild as compared with the one
/ Just went through at South Por-
cupine. There was not the large
loss Of life at the two previous fires
that there was at South Porcupine
and Pottsville.
"The roar of the Flames was so
deafening that you could not hear q
spoken word five feet away, and the
nall of smoke was so think that you
could hardly see your hand before
you. There had been fire cou'
pie Of days before around Golden
city, but they succeeded in saving
the town, which became our tenn
porary refuge after we who survived
escaped from South Porcupine. None
can realize the devastation that can
be wrought by forest fire until ne
has been through one. The flames
were hurled along by gale OF wind
at what seemed rate of 100 miles
an hour, licking up everything IN
