MONTREAL, Feb. -. - The
eharred bodies Of thirty-e'eht
children had been recovered late
tonlcht from the ruins Of the Grey
nunnery which was destroyed by
fire. It is feared many more
perished and searehers believe
the toll Of death might reach 100.
All the inmates of the great
buildings except the children are
believed to have escaped. They
included nuns. nursing sisters,
wounded or sick soldiers from
overseas, aged. sick or crippled
men and women to the number OF
almost a thousand.
When the flames were dis
covered in the west wing the
alarm was quickly given and all
those able to help themselves
fled to places of safety. Inc
heroic nuns and nursing sisters
strove vaIantiy to save the SICK
and wounded as we'll as the n
fants under their charge.
The children were housed
in the section of the building
where the fire started and The
flames spread so raricIy Il was
ImpossibIe to save them all.
None of the soldiers suffered
injury, however. although nearly
200 of them were quartered in the
building.
