FLASH-LIGHTS
FROM THE SEVEN SEAS
CHAPTER I
FLASH-LIGHTS OF FLAME
Fire! Fire! Fire everywhere!
Fire in the sky, fire on the sea, fire on the ships, fire in the flowers, fire in the trees of the forest; fire in the Poinsetta bushes which flash their red flames from every yard and jungle.
In the tropical lands flowers do not burst into blossom; they burst into flame. Great bushes of flaming Poinsetta, as large as American lilac bushes, burst into flame over night in Manila.
