look dangerous. The firemen laid two
lines OF hose from the rear and the
chemical engine in front, where here
also they held two lines Of hose in
reserve to food the first floor If the
FIRE broke through. The only water
thrown. however, was directed into

water amounted to little, as the stock
there was small.

And let our promptness to obey pc

And of thy mercy, pity "And forgive
