ESCAPE FROM FIRE
MOTHER’S HEROIC STRUGGLE. THROUGH DENSE SMOKE. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Sept. 20. Mrs A. Payne, with two children, aged two years and two montlis iespectively, had a narow escape from burning when a house in Newmarket was destroyed early this morning. After struggling to the front door she found that it was so warped with the heat that she could not open it. With a grip on the children, she battled her way down the passage through, the dense smoke to the living room and fought her way to a window where she dropped the children on to the ground outside and made her own escape as the flames overtook her.
