I pulled off my scout scarf and tied it over my mouth, so that it covered my ears too.
Then I looked in and down low, because I knew that the smoke wouldn't be so thick near the floor.

And I saw Wig Weigand lying there right under the stove pipe and his hand was reaching up holding the damper, and his hand was all white like and his eyes were wide open and staring.

Then I shouted for all I was worth.
"Doc! Come down--hurry! Send Doc Carson down, Wig Weigand is dead--he's suffocated.".
