WHSSIUi\ MUUSft. J/AiVlAlxEdJ* SPARK IGNITES CUSHION (PRTSS ABSOLUTION TULEGRXH.) ROTORUA, February 10. The Anglican mission house at Whakarewarewa was partially destroyed by fire last evening, only good work by the brigade preventing its complete destruction. The occupants, the Misses Bulstrode and Miss M. Snoad, were entertaining a party of friends, when a strong smell of smoke warned them of danger, and they made a hasty exit. The Are was caused by a cushion which had been slightly burned by a spark from the fire earlier in the evening, and, after being apparently extinguished, placed in a nearby bedroom, where the fire originated. Both the house and. the chapel, which is part of the building, were considerably damaged.
