Finds Conditions Unusual. “As a matter of fact, we always did inspect buffdings under construction.” | said Fire Marshal Lauber. “The I.C.C. fire was of a very unusual nature, how- ever. There was a great deal of com- bustible material there and, due to the lack of stairways and adequate | lighting, the blaze got too much of a | | start. “This made it extremely difficult | { for us to bring the flames under con- | trol, especially since they were so high | up.” After the fire, which resulted in | charges of sabotage, insurance experts ! recommended _greater precautions be | taken by the Fire Department to guard | | against similar blazes. | | since then, Marshal Lauber said, the | | Fire Department has insisted that | | stairways be put up with the floors and | | that adequate lighting facilities be pro- vided at the same time. Inspected Once a Week. “Representatives of my office now in- spect all buildings under construction once a week,” Marshal Lauber contin- ued. “In this way, we keep pace with the development of the structures, and we would know exactly how to go about | fighting a fire in any of them “In addition, the stairways and light- ing should make it easier for us to get at the flames, even if thev were on the top floor. No blaze should get such a | starc as the one in the I C. C. Build- ing, however, as all the structures now are under constant guard by watchmen after nightfall. The combination of all these things is, we feel, adequate | protection ” The I. C. C. blaze was thoroughly in- vestigated by Marshal Lauber, but no evidence of sabotage was found. Never- | theless, the construction company, it [ was said at the time, purchased & | sabotage policy from a British insur- ance concern. ~ The origin of the flames never was determined. but a burning cigarette butt was believed responsible. Fire Chief George S. Watson, who has been ill for the last two months, will return to duty tomorrow, Marshal Lauber said. .

Short- ly after lunch the captain of one of the newspaper boats came aboard and enjoyed a few minutes swapping yarns. According to the papers, the U.

The officers have built themselves a pot and are eounting on some of the de- licious Maine chicken for dinner. Every one in this little fleet cer- tainly misses the absent members of the party and are really regretting that Steve Early, with his contagious laugh, and Amyas Ames, the most willing of sailors, won't be on deck with Jim Roosevelt and John Cutter when the Bernadou returns today. Well. the weather report says northerly winds for today, so here’s hoping the fog lifts and we can get under way bright and early. Jim Roosevelt isn’t going to miss any- thing.
