Jules l Heureux who sounded the alarm immediately went up to Wake those who were sleeping in the Burnin House. He succeeded in waking up the head of the family Ulric Trudel who escaped in his night garments. At the same moment his wife was crying out for help at a window of the third Story. Seeing men in the Street she asked them to catch the child she was holding in her arms. Threw boy out of window. She actually threw out a 15-year-old boy who jumped through the arms of three Young men and struck the Wall with his head receiving injuries that May prove fatal.
