Fourteen hours in flames'
Stanley McKeown Brown
To be trapped with one companion and a horse in a small potato patch entirely surrounded by sixty-foot flames was the tight corner in which Stanley Brown found himself some twenty-five years ago during a Canadian prairie fire. Also in the potato patch was a keg of dynamite. From this inferno, fanned by a sixty-mile-per-hour wind, there seemed not the remotest possibility of escape. Yet escape Stanley Brown did, to tell the tale at the microphone this afternoon. His own experience was almost incredibly horrible, yet he tells of others who, in the same fire, went through and survived even greater torture of body and mind.
