out most of the remaining inhabitants. More
than a hundred took refuge in a swale along the
railroad tracks and there they were burned to black
crisps or gray-white ashes, every last one. Allen
Fraser was near enough to hear than die. 'When
the fire wave hit that swamp,' he said, 'there was
one piercing cry of anguish, then everything was
- still except for the howling of the wind Fraser

into barrels of water. . . . What started this fire
that became such a tremendous sea of flame and
rolled for twenty miles and took 418 lives?"
