There was no chance of saving the hotel buildings, which were dry as tinder, but a bucket brigade, running from • nearby well, managed to save "Red Gablee," the cottage nearest the hotel. and its garage, which wee threatened with destruction ales. "Red Gables" is the summer home of Mr. B. H. McCreath of Toronto, who was also the owner of the boteL Harry McCreath, of Saltford, broth- er of the owner of the hotel, wag working on the grounds and entered the hotel in search of a bat. He threw In the electric light switch, bat the lights did not go on, so he returned to his work. A few minutes later be saw smoke billowing from the build- ing. Mr. McCreath dashed into the botel, but was stopped in the lowige by a wall of smoke and Same,.. He managed to throw out several wicker chairs from the lounge before being forced to retreat by the intense Showering sparks soon ignited the laundry house, a short ltstanee away, which housed the water pump, and no one was able to go within twenty- five yards of tbe blazing buildings. Flaming and smoldering boards were ripped from "Red Gables' and the garage by the bucket brigade. It is believed that had the fire gained a foothold In these -buildings the whole settlement would have been doomed. While a gang of men were combatting the flames on the cottage and garage others removed the furniture from the place. Among those who prevented the spread of the fire among the buildings were Doug. Dickie, W. Symonds, W. McManus. W. Proctor and C. Kings- well. Others were kept busy beating out grass fires which sprang up as far as one hundred yard from the boteL A slight westerly breeze fortunately blew sparks to the east of tbe hotel and away from the cottages. The hotel was built about forty years ago by the late D. F. Hamlin'', who sold out to Mr. McCreath eighteen years ago. The loss was partially covered by insurance. Relatives of the owper in Goderich believe it highly improbable that the hotel will be rebuilt.
