GALE FANS FIRE
OCCUPANTS ESCAPE FROM BURNING HOUSE VERY LITTLE SAVED Press Association. —Copyright. AUCKLAND, Wed—Awakened by the crackling of flames, the occupants of a house at Stanley Point Road escaped from their burning home in their night attire at the height of a gale last night. Practically nothing was saved. The four occupants of the house — Mr. R. L. Cleland, the owner; a married daughter, Mrs. A. R. Cleland Fottie; Miss Doris 1 Cleland, and Mrs Cleland Pottle’s seven-year-old daughter—escaped when the house was a sea of flames and had time to take with them only a few personal effects. Sirs. Cleland Pottie intended leaving Wellington by the Rangitiki for England to-morrow, and her luggage had already been sent to Wellington. The House was insured for £ISOO in Lloyd’s Office and the contents for £550 in the Norwich Union Office.
