Bert had unpleasant experiences on
Friday night last. In each case the.
gas in some manner escaped from the
stave and they were nearly overcame.
when, they awakened and opened un
the doors and windows, and thus were
saved, As it was they were pretty,
sick, for a few hours:. It was a damp

appear that in burns g soft coal the
drafts >should never be fully closed.
