Three fremen Frustrated by gas and
smoke last night at a blaze in a board
ing house at 30 West Seyenty-second

were Captain James Bonk and Fireman
James McSherry, of Engine 40, and
Lieutenant Edward Malalley, of Engine
"a. They were attended by DR.. Archer,
Of the Fire Department.
The fire melted gas pipes IN the
cellar, and the gas combined with the
smoke to make a deadly mixture. The
firemen worked in relays, and so ire
quently were they driven to the street
for air that second alarm was sent
in TO get more men.
Starting in the cellar Of the four
story and basement house managed by
Mrs. Elizabeth Koen, the fire worked
into the basement before It was eN-
tlnguished. The damage was $4,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Brown, who
stayed in their room on the top floor IN
the belief that the fire was OF little
consequence. were driven to window
ledge by smoke and chung there shrek
ing "a Hook and Ladder 35 drew up be
low. There came answering shouts
from persons who believed the pair
were about to jump.
While the extension ladder was still
climbing to position Fireman Mason,
Chief Kenlon's driver. leaped from the
chiefs car and raced to its apex. rising
with it to the ledge. Other firemen
were close behind him and passed the
rescued couple TO the street
