This figure was accept- ed as the number destroyed after of- ficers of & gas company had made a careful check of their property. It did not, however, include various garages and outbuildings that were destroyed. There was no accurate estimate as to the monetary loss caused by the fire, but it was believed it would reach $450,000 or more. It was pointed out that many of the houses were occupled the year 'round, al- though some were summer cottages of an inexpensive type. Big Residences Spared The flames started near the Relay house, which was not damaged. At first it was feared the fire would spread to a section of imposing residences but the wind shifted and blew the flames south to houses of a more modest type. Town officers were unwilling to set an estimate on the average value of the cot- tages destroyed but one man lost | five which he valued at $40,000. A | woman lost two houses and out- | bulldings valued at $100,000. | An area between a quarter and a | balf a mile long and about 300 yards wide was swept by the fire. | The houses sat at the top of a hill | about a quarter of a mile from the | sea, but directly in the line of th | breezes that blew off the ocean. The houses burned were in the { vicinity of Garden road, Trimoun tain road and Bayview avenue, Fire Boat Helps Arrival of a Boston fireboat was | belleved largely responsible for checking the flames as it was im- possible to obtain enough water through the four inch mains to stop their spread. The fire boat pumped salt water up to the fire- men from Lynn, Salem and Swamp- scott who were fighting the fire. One home destroyed was that of John- | tormer State Sepator Cabot | son. Tt was valued at $20,000, The cottages burned were on Colby Hill which rises above Bass Point, Three of the buildings burn- ed were known to be lodging houses 18 of the occupied the year around. Lucky Shift in Wind The shift in the wind was be | leved to have enabled many per- sons to escape unharmed. A police- man discovered the fire and turnea in an alarm. Then he ran to awaken the residents In cottages to the north where the fire seemed spread- ing. Persons living in the cottages to the south also were awakened and were out of their homes before the wind shifted and destroyed their houses, Only One TInjured So far as could be learned only one man, Elton Dussault, was hurt. He broke his arm when he fell while trying to put out the fire on his father's roof. The origin of the fire was unex- plainede It started Winthrop in cottage, used as a clubhouse by a group of boys yung men. Tt was not believed that more than two or three were in the buflding at the time and they could not be found today.
