At 2.30 o'clock this morning ;in alarm of fire was received from Swansea lload, and when the brigade arrived a few minutes later, it was found that Mr J. Donald's big shed was ablaze.

Before the Brigade arrived on the reene, Mr Donald, assisted by Mr Jackson and two friends, organised a bucket brigade, but all to no avail. It is unfortunate for Mr Donald, that during th© holiday season be should loso his big Cadillac motor ear and brake which were stored in the garage.
