was not until sparks and burning

the progress of the flames would be

At the fourteenth story a light o."

poured out on them as they beat In

They went ahead, however, and while
they were climbing up the wall from
that window they heard the rush of a
back draft below them and looked
down to eee the flames in the thir

A cry of warning from Captain Bail
was answered by a faint shout above
thcia. They looked up to see Gonna;!
