Pullingoff his coat, while his mates ran down for water, Teddy dashed wildlyinto the lantern, and, holding the coat by its arms, laid about himviolently, but smoke and fire drove him but almost immediately. Thebuckets were long of coming, and when they did arrive, their contentswere as nothing on the glowing cupola. Then Teddy went out on thebalcony and endeavoured to throw the water up, but the height was toogreat. While he was doing this, Wilkie ran down for more water, butHall stood gazing u...pwards, open-mouthed with horror, at the ragingflames. At that moment the leaden covering of the roof melted, andrushed down on Hall's head and shoulders. He fell, with a loud shriek. While Teddy tried to drag him down to the room below, he exclaimed thatsome of the melted lead had gone down his throat! He was terriblyburned about the neck, but his comrades had to leave him in his bedwhile they strove wildly to check the flames. It was all in vain. Thewood-work around the lantern, from years of exposure to the heat oftwenty-four large candles burning at once, had become like tinder, andthe fire became so fierce that the timber courses composing the top ofthe column soon caught.
