Craig and I had bounded awkwardly into our paraphernalia at the first sound. We slid ungracefully down the pole and were pushed and shoved into our places, for scientific management in a New York fire-house has reached one hundred per cent efficiency, and we were not to be allowed to delay the game. The oil-torch had been applied to the engine, and it rolled forth, belching flames.
Then, those at the fire-house got the cart out and rung the bells. It was real funny, but don't tell Josiah I said so, because he was all puffed up last night. He gave his signal just as Mr. Beaver got up to make a motion to have you put out. Things was pretty strong against you after Reverend Mr. Means spoke." "Mr. Means!" "Um-hm. He was there as big as life and sad as Job.
"Yes they did." "I bet they didn't." "I bet they did." "Look at the smiles on their faces." "I bet we have the town hall wished on us." "I bet it's the fire-house." "I feel it in my bones we have to go to school." "Let's see the cup." "Did you eat?" "What is this, a questionnaire?" asked one of the arrivals, the one who had driven the car. "Let's hear the worst." "Break it gently."
That night they sat long in their tents it was not dusk even at midnight, and talked of home. A day or so later they spied from the fire-house tower vessels that seemed to be jammed in a polar ice floe which a north wind crowded into the throat of the White Sea. Then to our joy a day or two later came the three transports, the long deferred hope of a homeward voyage.
I'll see O'Connor about the railroad outfit; then I'll come down to the fire-house and talk to the crowd. We'll wake this old town up to-night, sons." "What about me?" asked the messenger. "You go back and tell Jed to hold the fort till Hart and his material arrives." Outside, they met Russell riding down the road, two saddled horses following.
The ruin of Fire-house, one of the pueblos where the Kokop people are reputed to have lived before they built Sikyatki, is situated on the periphery of Tusayan. It is built of massive stones and differs from all other ruins in that province in that it is circular in form.
"And he is the man who said the bucket brigade was good enough," observed John Boll. "I guess he's changed his mind," remarked Bert. "I'm going over to Cole's barn," he added. "It's my night on duty." Bert found Cole and several of his chums engaged in games of checkers and dominoes in the barn, which had been fitted up as much as possible like a fire-house.
Then, when Flossie grew tired of the house, Freddie turned it into a stable, in which he placed his rocking-horse. Then he brought out his iron fire engine, and used the place for a fire-house, tying an old dinner bell on a stick, stuck over the doorway. Dong! dong! would go the bell, and out he would rush with his little engine and up the garden path, looking for a fire.
"Big fire Goggins's farm Mineola fire department bust up hurry," cried Frank all in a breath. "All right, we'll be on the job in ten minutes," cried the voice, and in a short time the big doors of the fire-house were flung open and lights switched on. The Westbury fire-engine was the cause of just pride to its operators.
Shouts went up from the boys who stood beneath the window. These were answered by cries of fire from various parts of town. The clang of the gong at the fire-house broke through the stillness of the crowded room. Distant alarms were rung with steady regularity. The meeting adjourned in a body. The seaman had kept his promise, and "Providence had cut the pack for the new deal."
