 Out Through Window
 MacLean discovered the fire at $50 am. when he saw smoke com ing from beneath the bedroom door He was in the kitchen pre- pairing breakfast at the time. When he opened the bedroom door, smoke and flames leaped out at him and enveloped the living room and q mpletely obscuring his vision. He headed for the only patch of light which he could see and which turned out to be the bedroom win dow.
