From house to house the flames spread, licking; u(P everything in their path, and out of the dwel lings ran panic-stricken occupants, to huddle, shivering hi scanty night clothing as the cold north wind sought them out. HravitiR the cold nnd danger, the bench residents joined fire fighters from three neurby county stations and fought the blaze.

The fire, which gained headway due chiefly to inadequate fire fighting apparatus, was not brought under control until the wind veered from the north and blew seaward.
