He thereupon got through a window at the back and found his parents unconscious. • There was a strong smell of gas in the room, the window and door of which were closed.

At 3 o'clock this after-, noon Mrs. Mackay was showing signs of returning consciousness, but there- was, little change in Mr. Mackay's condition.'
