DAMIAN SANO were still burning, and my thumb is blackened and sore.

People were being taken out on stretchers and the arms of firemen, sailors, Coast Guardsmen, soldiers and civilians. The smoke was thick and choking. Several times I was forced outdoors, then I continued giving conditional absolution just outside the entrance. "The sights I saw were terrible. I was so busy I did not have a chance to look around much, but I saw the bodies jammed near the door and I from the smoke.

"I saw one of the bodies, that of a woman, accidently kicked by one of the workers at the fire. The body jumped. She was still alive and I told two Coast Guardsmen to take the body out and put it with the victims still alive, so she could be taken to a hospital. "I went back inside the club again. Another priest, I do not know his name, went in with me, the two of us gave last rites until he said 'Father, I can't stand the smoke.

I was weeping and we went outside. "After a few minutes I went back in again and continued to give conditional absolution and anointed the bodies until a section of a wall fell down. I was struck in the back and injured. One of the stretcher bearers holding a body while I performed the rites was hit on the head and dropped. I gave him the last rites and went outside again.

My stole was dirty and wet. "As I stepped outside I met Fr. (Arthur Morley of St. Stephen's. He said, 'Father, you're a mess.

I thought I was a mess, but you're a worse I went over to the garage again and met two sailors, converts of mine. They 'Gee, Father, look at your The two converts' names are Albert Frank Jr. and William Wiles, both pharmacist's mates, second class. "I stayed until 2 o'clock, and then I started for home. A police officer said, 'Wait, Father, I'll get you a taxi to take you but I told him, 'You may need the taxi for an ambulance, I'll get home by myself.

"I went back to the corner of Tremont and Broadway and got a street car. I was a sight, with my clothes dirty and wet and 'jvery-one in the car looked at me. I got off at Haymarket sq. and walked the rest of the way, weeping at the sights I had seen.

Lieut. Bertha Rump, who was called on duty soon after 11 Saturday -night to drive ambulances to the hospitals with the Red Cross and is on duty this morning at the corner of Stuart and Church after eiht hours off to do her regular night's work at the New England Terminal Company as a machinist, is typical of the hard-working vol unteers who have asked no quarter because they are women. Hardest job of all in the wake of the disaster, the tagging of unrec ognizable victims of the fire, has been done by members of the Women's Defense Corps.

Damian Sano, O.

F. assistant at St. Leonard's Church, North Bennet North End. Many newspaper and radio accounts of the tragedy have referred to the young clergyman as "the short priest," but have not named him. Fr.

Sano narrowly escaped death twice as he stood either just inside or just outside of revolving doors of the night club and gave condi-j tional absolution tr the bodies being carried out by firemen, sailors, soldiers and civilians. A shower of bricks struck his back and he is still suffering from that injury, and a ladder fell, knocking off his hat. "I was in bed after a hard day," Fr. Sano told a Globe reporter. "I had heard confessions all afternoon and evening, and had visited the cemetery, and I was just dropping off to sleep when "the phone rang.

It was the telephone operator who said there was a terrible fire at the Cocoanut Grove, and I was needed there. That was at 10:45, a half! hour after the fire started. In two minutes I was running out of the rectory, still buttcning my coat. I ran up to Hanover "st. in search of a taxi.

One was just passing, and i stopped it. It had a fare who was going to Scollay but I got in anyway. The driver dropped him off at Cross and Hanover sts. and drove me to Tremont and Broadway, where the streets were blocked. "I discovered I had no money with me and offered to give my name so he could call later and collect, but he said, 'This is no time to be mercenary, and refused.

"A police sergeant saw me getting out of the cab and led me through to a side entrance, but there was little happening there. A po lice officer said, 'Father, it's around the corner. I began to run around the block to Piedmont and slipped and fell on the sidewalk, cutting my wrist and bruising my knee.

Former Mayor John D.
