EAST GLOUCESTER 
Last Friday morning about seven o’clock the Wil- 
liamson cottage at Hast Gloucester, occupied by the 
Siamese Legation, was almost completely destroyed by 
fire. The cottage occupies a prominent position where 
the stiff westerly breeze fanned the blaze and made the 
fire a hard one for the firemen to fight, although the 
auto chemical and the combination wagon from East 
Gloucester made excellent time. The cottage and fur- 
nishings were valued at $25,000 and it is estimated that 
the damage was about three-quarters of the valuation. 
Rey. Dr. Williamson of Lansing, Michigan, is the own- 
er of the cottage and during the winter and spring had 
spent a large sum of money for improvements. The 
workmen had just finished when the Siamese legation 
opened the house the week preceding the fire. The house- 
hold consisted of Prince Traidos, the new Siamese min- 
ister; Edward Loftus, the English secretary, and fam- 
ily; the attaches of the legation, servants, ete. Much 
of the personal property of the party was lost, as well 
as valuable articles owned by the legation. General 
George Reid, a near neighbor, was one of the first to 
offer assistance to the unfortunate minister and _ his 
family. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Little also offered aid and 
placed one of their new cottages at the disposal of the 
legation for the remainder of the season,
