Local officials said that more than 80 people were killed, most dying of smoke taking in above the 20th floor of the 26-story hotel. At least two jumped to their deaths. Several hundred were injured.

  There was little warning as the fire violently spread through the first and second floors with great strength. Thick black smoke through the hotel and rose 5,000 feet above the roof.

  No alarm was sounded, according to fire officials, who said that equipment in the basement had been destroyed before the hand alarm was set off.

  Sussex, May 26 (The Daily Mail) —— Mrs Myra Webb, who was told by doctors that she would never hear again, lived for six years in a world of silence.

  Mrs Webb, 26, is said to be the first woman in Britain to have her hearing brought back by acupuncture, the needle treatment widely practiced in China.

  After six months' treatment she can listen to music again, carry on a conversation with the aid of a hearing aid, and she has got a job as a typist with the South Eastern Electricity Board.

  “It's wonderful to hear people talk,” she said at her home in Stanstead Crescent, Woodingdean, Brighton.

  Mrs Webb began to lose her hearing at the age of 12 after a serious illness. “By the age of 20 I had no hearing whatever. ”

  “A friend told me about acupuncture and I went weekly for treatment. One night when I was in the kitchen I heard a weak sound and realized it was my musical kettle boiling. I went weak at the knees. My hearing has slowly improved since. ”

  Her husband David, a 26-year-old manager, said, “She is so happy and excited by the results and is continuing the treatment. ”
