The Gallant boy suffered sev- ere burns to hands, arms, neck, and other upper parts of his body, and was still in hospital this morning. His condition was | said to be satisfactory. | The boy, along with one or | two boys about the same age, | had gone into the station while | Mr. Muttart and David Ramsay, a member of his staff, had been working outside of the building.
