Several people in boats left Calf Pasture beach and other points in the harbor and went to the island, but the whole structure was enveloped in flames and there was no posibility of saving it. All the contents were destroyed and the loss is estimated at $9,000.
Mr. Scofield is out of town and could not be reached today. How the fire started is an unsolved mystery.
