YOUTH AND GIRL CRAWL ALONG NARROW LEDGE. Crowds of City workers on their way to lunch the other day saw thrilling rescues from a fire which broke out in a fourstorey building In Gray's Inn-road, a few yards from Holborn.
They saw a girl clerk and a youth crawling to safety along a ledge 70 feet from the ground. Passers-by were alarmed to see smoke and flame suddenly pour out of the building, the upper part of which is used as offices, AL- most before the alarm could be given flames were durting from the three upper, storeys.

Miss Frances Cupit, of West Dulwich, who was on the top floor," probably owes her life to the calm. courage of an 18-year-old mes- senger, Tom Lee. He had call- ed with some goods, and was in the office when the cry of "Fire" was heard.
"It was quite impossible to es- Í cape downstairs
