M. I). Sxonc'.RASS, Vol. Observer.
The S. S. Tyonic, which plies be
tween Port Graham and various ports
on Cooks Inlet, has pone on dry dock
in Kodiak for the wi*" er.
On the morning of the jrd we had
a narrow escape from a very serious
calmity.
Two little boys, Frank Lowell and
Jacob I.oe, aged 5 and 4 years con
ceived the idea that it would be fun
to build a fire. They had found some
matches on the floor, and chose for
the scene of their operations the
large attic where the washings are
dried in stormy weather. Under the
slope of the roof jve have chips and
kindling stored away for"winter use.
These little chaps tip-toed up stairs
and when they had lighted a fire in
the kindlings they came down.
Then one of them went back again.
The Supt. hearing them and suspect
ing some mischief went up to inves
tigate. Frank was coming down,
anil said in a frightened voic-: "The
attic is on fire". Rushing up the
stairs he found the end where the
chips were, a mass of flames. It did
not take many seconds to give the al
arm and get the fire extinguisher
playing on the flames. This check
ed the fire so that when the others
workers came wiih water and other
extinguishers the flames ware soon
put out.
Had the fire had a few minutes
mote start, we could not have saved
the building or tnur'i of its contents.
As it was the damage was very slight,
and the loss only a tew garments that
were on the lines at the time. It was
a cause for thankgiving that we were
able to save our home
