LADY'S REMARKABLE ESCAPE. Eastwell Park, near Ashford, owned by Lord Gerard, and tenanted by Mr. H. J. King, of the South African mining market, has been the Bcene of an alarming fire. A beam built into a chimney, after smoulder- ing unnoticed for some time, suddenly uurst into flames, and set fire to the upper bedrooms of the mansion. The occupants had narrow escapes. Miss Muriel King, Mr. King's daughter, was rescued just as portions of the burning ceiling fell on to her bed. The fire was confined to the upper bedrooms, but damage amounting to nearly £1,000 was done before the flames were extinguished. Eastwell Park is famous for its view, which Defoe declared was the finest he had ever seen, and, although the building is modern, it has many interesting historical associations.
