Hours-Was- on Verge of Big Eas-
ter Season.

Old Point Comfort, Va, March s.
The Char.aerlin Hotel, on the
waterfr1.1 here, was destroyed last
night by fire, which spread to the
steamer wharf and threatened the
Sherwood Hotel and other adjacent
property.
:. The fire started in the Chamberlin,
q tourist hotel, just before the din
ner hour, and first reports indicated
that everybody escaped.
Several thousand soldiers from
Fort Monroe aided the local fire de-
partment and help WAS called from
Hampton Roads and Newport News
when it appeared that other hotels
and the army artillery school plant
were in danger.
Tugs in the harbor pumped water
on the land end Of the piers, close
by the hotel and ships due to touch
there were ordered away.
The origin Of the fire is not
known. All that has been definitely
Eestab3ished is that it started On the
ground floor. The myriad delicate
carved woodwork fixtures, the heary
tapestries, and the old-fashioned
Furnishings which helped to. make
the hotel famous, were veritablc dry
tinder for the flames, and in a few
bminutes the entire first floor was q
raging he'll, with flames rapidly eat
ling their way to the upper stories.
There were a number Of thrilling
escapes, both men and women risk
| ing their lives to recover valuahles
they left in their rooms when the
alarm was first given.
Two women, one of them a Miss
4Jordan, whose home IS said to be in
Pennsylvania, came dangerously near
losing their lives when they rushed
back into their room to recover some
valuables, after they had been carried
to safety by firemen and soldiers
from Fort Monroe. Miss: IordaI''s
companion said she had $4,000 in her
room, and she would not heed the a.i-
vice of firemen and friends to remain
ont of the burning structure. When
/ the two women reached their room
they found they were cut off BY the
,f:re. They came to a window on the
kthird floor and cried for help.
Seven firemen volunteered to res
cue the women, and after climbing
up the fire escape and along the cor

being lighted with flames at the time
they reached them. They were brought
back along the cornice work Of the
building and down the fire escape t
safety.
;During the rescue, firemen KEEP

who had volunteered to save the We

from catching fire.
