Note: Newscopy: SAN FRANCISCO: Smoke billows from base of Alcatraz lighthouse as burned-out warden's home stands in foreground after all-night fire gutted these structures along with the infirmary on the former federal penitentiary. The 150 Indians living on the island refused offers to evacuate and turned down offers of fire-fighting aid from the Coast Guard. They were unable to fight the blaze themselves because of a lack of water.
