Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Wagner,
who own and operate the Lake
Hotel, are recovering from the
narrowing experience of being
wakened in the middle of night to
the call of fire" But even as
they talk of that terrifying hour,
and point out the extensive dam.
age, they refer again and again to
the fact that people are so willing
to help in time of stress.
They tell of the young couple
who were driving through Port
Clinton at three o'clock last Fri
day morning and happened TO
glance through the window of the
lobby and saw flames in the room.
They dashed through the open
door into the lounge and frarti-
cally rang the night bell to waken
the sleeping occupants. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Wagner expressed re-
gret that in the following excite
ment the young couple left with
out any one getting their names.
Guests throughout the hotel
were aroused by another guest,
but many remained in their rooms
when assured that there was no
immediate danger. Several of the
men worked very efficiently re-
moving smoldering draperies and
furniture while MIR. Wagner and
one of the guests manned the two
fire extinguishers. BY the time
some one thought to call the fire
department the fire was under
control.
Dense smoke continued to swirl
through the halls and some of the
rooms, but the Wagners point with
pride to the fact that there was
no panic. They also speak CRATE
fully of the yeoman service ren,
dered by some of their guests.
Passing thought :. :. ;. 1t is a
long time since we have heard
some of those old cliches on which
we were reared, and we wonder
if the present young fry ever
heard these words of sterling
worth.
