George Wells, a fireman stationed at engine-house 12, is dying from the effects of a crushed leg. He was one of the most valiant fire fighters during the great conflagration, but was injured and taken to the Harbor Hospital. Later he was removed to the hospital on Goat Island and given the best of care, but gangrene set in after amputation of his left leg, and it was reported that he was dying. His wife and mother were with him.

Twenty-four patients from the Harbor Hospital, including Wells, were removed to Goat island, under the care of Dr. Parker of the Navy, all of the patients having been seriously injured in this city.
