AGED WOMAN PERISHES
One woman is dead and three other persons--a garage proprie- tor, his son, and daughter-pre lying in Weymouth District Hos pital seriously injured as a result of a fire on Weymouth sea front in the early hours of the morning. It broke out in the drawingroom of a flat above the garage of Mg, Dan Guy, of Gloucester Row, Wes- mouth.
The flames spread no rapidly that the people aleeping in the tooms above, by jumping in one caso, and by heroic rescues on the part of an hotel chof in another case, escaped the fate of a 70- year-old woman, Mrs. Bloxham, of Cheltenham, sleeping alone on the top floor, who was trapped in the blazing flat with all means, of escape cut off, and was brought out dead.
The people in the flat were Mr. and Mrs. Dan Guy, their grown- up son and daughter, and Mrs. Bloxham, of Cheltenham..
It was the terrifying screams of the women at the windows in their Inight attire which brought people to the spot, including Mr. Fenner, a chef at a hotel next door, who got a short ladder und, balancing it on, the algn above the garage entrance, helped Mrs. Guy and her daughter down. Then he helped the son. The two latter were bad- ly burnt. Mr. Guy, senior, jump- ed from a third-floor window and broke a leg.
At the window of a bedroom above appeared the terror-stricken figure of Mrs. Bloxham, for one moment only. She was not seen alive again.
