Wednesday. - Bush fires are still raging through North >Gippsland, and are spreading themselves in the ranges north of Maffra with >amazing rapidity and great destructiveness. Last week a number of >comfortable farms and homesteads spread over the landscape ; to-day it is a >mass of smoking and charred ruins. Scores of settlers are homeless. >Cultivation areas and grazing lands have been swept bare. Buildings, >fences , stacks, and stock are things of the past. > >Over great and ever-increasing area, which is mildly reckoned to include >hundreds of thousands of acres, the hillsides to-night afford a magnificent >spectacle. It would be a grander one almost than a battle, were it a >little less devastating; but it looks like a blaze of torches winding in >and out like a marching army, with flaring banners, and every tree-top >looks like a mammoth electric light, only a hundredfold stronger. Beating >was of little use when the fires, fanned by the strong wind, reached the >log fences and dried trees. To-night the desolation of despair has >conquered the fire-fighters of yesterday. > >As stated last night, the Glenmaggie fire is known to have been responsible >for three lives. Michael Curtain and his wife perished together while >loading an old waggonette with their furniture. The horse was >terror-stricken; neither whip nor kindness could move it. As a last >resource the two old people themselves got between the shafts and started >to haul the vehicle to the water. They had reached the edge of the creek >when the old man, choking and suffocated, fell to the ground. His faithful >wife, with an agonizing cry, fell upon him, dazed and stupefied. The >flames passed over them and left them a heap of charred and unrecognizable >remains. Little Sammy Trew's fate was equally pathetic. The Dawes family >were escaping with wet blankets round their heads. "There are not enough >for us all," said Sammy handing his over to his sister, "I will go back and >get another." He rushed into the door of the flaming building, the roof >feel [sic] in with a crash, and he was se! > en no more. When his parents and brothers and sisters came out of the >water tank in which they lay whilst the fire swept over and around them >they collected all that remained of this devoted lad in an iron bucket. > >So suddenly did the fires spring up and rush forward and so black and dense >was the smoke that people could hardly distinguish each other a few yards >away. Horses and sheep and cattle were in a death trap. They stood wildly >at bay and were roasted. The people made for the nearest creek or >waterhole, and, then, up to their necks, , kept immersing their heads as >the flying, flaming gum leaves singed their hair and rendered that >operation absolutely essential. A Mr. Curtain came down from Glenmaggie >with a two-horse team. He lashed them along a bush track at a fearful >rate. It was a mad race with the flames, but the flames prevailed; >therefore, when his buggy caught fire he promptly jumped out and flew for >his life for the nearest creek. The horses, when found afterwards, were >raw, and their legs had been burnt off. Numerous incidents of narrow >escapes could be given. Cows are wandering about in agony with their tails >burnt off; horses wandering aimlessly about withou! > t lips, ears or tails. > >Miss Coleman, the State school teacher, of Upper Wadelock, saved her >school. She got her younger pupils to a place of safety, and with the >elder boys successfully burned a strip round the school. Just below the >school was a splendid homestead, but it was swept away with remorseless >speed. Mr. and Mrs. Missen stood in a creek for four hours, and Mrs. >Missen is now seriously ill. Culverts and bridges have been swept away, >and the damage must come well into six figures. Already relief meetings >are being called, and the Government is likely to do something. > >Late to-night the fires were still burning, but they cannot do much further >damage. From other parts of the colony come accounts of narrow escapes and >of great losses in grass and fencing. Grave fears are entertained for the >safety of the Hospital Creek. It is reported, but not confirmed, that the >fires have swept the settlement out of existence. The worst of the fires >is now said to be over.
