Particulars are now to hand of the destruction oi Tibbal’s Hotel at Poverty Bay, and the burning to death of Mrs Tibbal and her two daughters. The fire was first observed by some natives about midnight. The bodies were found charred almost beyond identification as human beings. The unfortunate victims slept on the ground floor, and there can be no question but, that had Mrs Tibbal been content to save herself, she could have done so without difficulty. Her first thought however was for her children, and instead of making either for the front door or the window, she heroically made for the room where they slept. Having roused them, all three apparently attempted to make their escape together, but whether they .were suffocated by the smoke, or killed by the falling of bricks and timber, or destroyed by the fire causing the explosion of some gundowder, a fifteen pound keg of which was |iu the house, certain it is that their bodies were found, lying beside each other, in a room where none of them o. dinarily slept. The deceased is universally spoken of as a thrifty woman. Her daughter, Emily, who, together with the baby was burnt, was a promising young girl of fifteen years of age.
