Harry Senior, the fireman, with his eight or nine companions in distress, had just managed to get a firm hold in the upturned boat when they saw the Titanic rearing preparatory to her final plunge. At that moment, according to the fireman's story, Captain Smith jumped into the sea from the promenade deck of the Titanic with a little girl clutched in his arms.
The fireman's risk of life is not poetry, nor a romance of zeal, or picture wrought by the imagination. It is an earnest, solemn, terrible thing, as they could witness who stood around those blackened corses on that midnight of woe. Hal searched with undiminished care for the noble stranger, until his worn energies required repose.
Kent got down stiffly from his cramped seat on the fireman's box and wetted his parched lips at the nozzle of the tender hose. "Do we make it, Jarl?" he asked. The engineer wagged his head. "Ay tank so. Ve maig it all right iff dey haf bane got dose track clear." "There are other trains to meet?" "Ja; two bane comin' dis vay; ant Nummer Samteen ve pass opp by."
"Garn!" yelled Huggins, reaching for a fresh supply. "Look arfter yer own blinkin' cab, yu blighter!" "Blighter, is it?" Murphy was dancing excitedly about until he got in the fireman's way, to receive such a furious push that he went sprawling on his back. He lifted himself to his feet as if something new had entered his experience, and stood agitatedly chewing his beard.
So he dismissed the affair, and devoted his whole attention to learning to be a fireman. Most people imagine it to be a very simple matter to shovel coal into a locomotive furnace, and so it is; but this is only a small part of a fireman's responsibility.
Tashingford, the chemist, appeared at his door, in shirt sleeves and an apron, with his photographic plate holders in his hand. And then like a vision of purpose came Mr. Gambell, the greengrocer, running out of Clayford's Alley and buttoning on his jacket as he ran. His great brass fireman's helmet was on his head, hiding it all but the sharp nose, the firm mouth, the intrepid chin.
"We were almost caught," gasped Tom, still choking from the smoke. The forward part of the car was a solid mass of flames, which roared and crackled above the noise of the engine. "Pass some of those logs into the engine!" Tom entered the cab and stuffed fuel into the fire-box. Andrews, leaning from the fireman's window, was gazing back. He called to Tom and pointed.
For instance, to obtain: An Ambulance Badge: A scout must know: The fireman's lift. How to drag an insensible man with ropes. How to improvise a stretcher. How to fling a life-line. The position of main arteries. How to stop bleeding from vein or artery, internal or external. How to improvise splints and to diagnose and bind fractured limb. The Schafer method of artificial respiration.
This sentiment was, partly at least, the secret of the fireman's cool courage in the midst of danger. But the enemy was very strong that night, and the brigade could make no impression whatever on the burning house, the inside of which glowed like a smelting furnace. "Try the drawing-room window, Jim, wi' the fire-escape," said our foreman to one of his men.
"The first item on the programme," he said in his clear voice, "is a song by Petty Officer Dawson, entitled, 'The Fireman's Daughter," and sat down again amid loud applause. The A.P. rose, hopped on to the stage, and sat down at the piano that occupied one wing of the stage.
