TWO COTTAGES
in PALAMA ZONE

Fire broke out In Palama this morn
ing, destroyed two cottages on Auld's
Lane and threatened the destruction
of the entire congested district before
/. was brought under control By the
Palama and Central station flre com.
panies which were rushed to the
scene.
The fire which stal ted from an un.
known cause was discovered In the
basement OF the cottage occupied BY

cation discovered a small tongue OF
flame licking up the side of an inter-
ici wall and the kitchen floor was
ablaze. Napuli notified the fire de-
partment nearby. while Mrs. Napnii

condition Of Auld's Lane whicn is
blocked for traffic as work of INSTALL
ing a sewer system in the neighbors

wagon was forced to drive around AID
through cane field and by the time
that the hose was attached and the
proper pressure attained, Napuli.s cot
tage was total loss.
In an hours hard work, the firenien
managed to save Waipa's cottage with
the exception of the roof and one side
o. the building.
Waipa and his family had succeed
ed, in moving their chattels and furni.
tire to the street and managed to cut
down their loss to about 500 but Ma.
upli, whose cottage was burnt to the
ground lost everything. His loss Is
estimated at $500.
After the blaze had been extinguish-
&c. the firemen spent several hours

prevent the possibility Of another fire.
Neither Of the cottages was insur-
ed; the cottage which was totally d.
stToyed was leased by Napuli from q
