The fire originated in the kitchen of the Florida, a large wooden structure, and spread rapidly. The first alarm was turned in at 1 o'clock. Firemen first turned their attention to reecuing guests at the Florida, many of whom were carried down ladders. Occu- pavts of the otner hotels were warned of their danger and many fled into the streets without any at- tempt to save their personal belong- ings. Two persons were injured. Miss Alice M.

Rushing to the boat house he cut the moorings of the boate and they sailed unharmed to « safe har- borin the bay.
