Noticing through the side-lights of the operating room the reflection of a bright light, he forced open the door and saw the flames breaking through the partition that separated the "dark room" from the reception room. The nearest box was at the junction of Main street and Putnam avenue; but for some reason he was unable to open this, and much time was consumed while he made his way to Harvard square.
