15 Burned To Death In Sleeping Hut Fire

_ Twenty-six more in hospital and nine missing

after tragedy in Quebec construction camp.

SHIPSHAW. Quebec, Jan. II fCPl- Trapped irl a. flaming sleep- ing hut. at least 15 men were burn- ed to death here early today in a construction camp fire which sent another 36 man to hospital and gift at least nine others still miss-

g.

With five of those in hospital ric- ported dying unofficial estimates of the ultimate death toll ran as nigh as 25.

Early estimates-made in the con- fusion following the fire - had placed the number o! missing as

igh as 43 but later officials agreed that at least nine men stlll were unaccounted fcr. It was believed some may have been staying over- night with friends and families in nearby towns.

The men were trapped in a one- storey sleeping hut in the construc- tion camp of Foundation Company of Canada Limited, which is build- ing a $35.000,0’.i0 power project ilear this northeastern Quebec town for the Aluminum Company of Canada Limited. All were employees on Foundation Company.

The firefighters. hampered when a 12-inch water main broke during the fire, prevented the flames from spreading to other buildings in the czmp, which houses LSCO of the 5.000 men employed on the power project. 'II"ey had the blaze, which began just after midnight, under control three hours later.

The injured-some in critical con- dltion-were rushed to Shipsllavv hospital and to hospitals ill other towns in this Lake St. John dis- trict, which lies in heavily-wooded country approximately 150 miles north of Quebec cit-y.

The charred bodies of the dead were taken to temporary morglres
