eclipsed all bonfres ever built by Yale

The Vagrant was moored alongside the
coaching launch John Harvard. and when
the gasolene caught fire aboard the Va
grant the crew of the Harvard made a
boeline UP the wharf, with Mr.. Wander
bilt following fast upon their heels. His
face and hair were scared and he was
later bandaged by Or. Ladd. the squad

The whole camp turned out with pals
and buckets TO put out the blaze on the
launch. but finding it futile, cut the little
craft free and she drifted down the
Thames. Brushing alongside a light
house pier. the flames soon spread 10 the
woodwork, and the volunteer department
attacked this second fire with their buck

water. where she sank, her bow having
been taken by the flames.
