disastrous fire swept the historic hos

most ancient and picturesque chari-

the chronic ward. Sixteen bodies had
been extracted from the burning
ruins at 7:30 o'clock.
The institution accommodates
nearly 500 inmates and includes q
hospital, lunatic asylum, founding
home and asrcfuge for aged and in
firm persons.
The fire broke out at midnight in
the laundry. At first it seemed in
significant. but it spread rapidly
to wards containing chronic suffer-
ers or infirmed who were seized with
panic. The shrieks of the sufferers
mingled with the cracking of the
flames while the atmosphere rapidly
became dense with smoke.
Nurses and doctors cleared the
bedridden from one ward and in the
next ward three of the patients
crawled out. Neighboring fremen
responded to the scene. but at the
moment of the arrival the electric
lights were extinguished. adding to
the horror of the situation.
Wooden Beams Fall.
As the immense wooden beams of
the hospital fell there was a heavier,
grinding noise and the pavement col
lapsed, burying 20 Of the chronic
patients and rendering access to the
wards impossible.
Carabiners, royal guards, nurses
and doctors made heroic efforts to
save the patients, rushing through
the smoke and FIRE and bringing out

rescue parties were injured. The
two wards were destroyed, but the
