Mr. Finlay carried Arthur to the corner of North Albert St., and a first planned to go up the hill, but the boy said that they had to turn back as the flames were too fierce. However, they got as far as Kaye St. and the anxious father went in search of some kind of conveyance to have the boy carried to the hospital. A truck was soon requisitioned and the boy brought to the hospital. "I'm getting better now," he said. "It was not to nice at first. The doctors set my leg in splints and I am glad I have not lost it."
"Everyone here has done some thing good for me," said Arthur. "I guess those nurses and doctors are alright." He then mentioned the names of several of the doctors and nurses who had been good to him, as he put it; but he said that he guessed it would be better to say that everyone was, good because as he naively said "they have all been splendid."
He is in the sixth grade at school and says that as soon as his father can locate a nice home, he will be able to go home, and perhaps before long be back at school again. The boys deplore the fact that they are not allowed, to have chocolates, bananas or apples, because at Willie Edmonds explained "they are too heavy for us. But then candies are no harm."
