Narrow Escape.
A very narrow escape from a serious fire took place in Havelock last evening. Messrs Simmonda and Owen were passing the School when a very bright glare was noticed inside ; after watching for a moment they saw the building was on fire and the flames were running up the eastern wall. An entrance was at once effected, when it was seen that a number of maps, &c., which were standing in a corner near the the fire-place, had by some means become ignited, and the fire had spread to the wall. An alarm was at once given, but the gentlemen named succeeded in putting the fire out before assistance arrived. The origin of the fire is a complete mystery.
