TAKE HERO FOR INEBRIATED REVELLER--LOSS IS $1,000

An unidentified hero's being mistaken for an intoxicated reveller caused C. B. Delafield '27 a thousand-dollar loss from a fire in his room, it became known last night.

A belated student returning to his dormitory at an early hour Saturday morning discovered the fire in Delafield's room at 84 Dunster Street. His frantic pounding on the door in an endeavor to rouse the sleepers brought only maledictions on his head from the drowsy inmates. When at last the landlord was aroused to a sense of the danger, he attacked the flames with a fire extinguisher and summoned the fire department, which promptly checked the flames, but not before Delafield's property was utterly destroyed.

Upon investigation yesterday it was discovered that the would-be saviour, whose identity could not be learned, was thought by the inmates of the house to be an inebriated roisterer and for that reason his warning was not heeded. Had he been successful in his efforts, almost the entire loss might have been avoided.
