To make the fire burn more fiercely kerosene oil had been poured over the boxes. The idea was to let the two companies of Lakeville have a chance first to see what they could do in the way of putting out a fire. They were to start from the same place, race toward the burning shacks, and the company which first put out the blaze was to be declared the winner.

Now I've got to go over to Lakeville to see him he's staying there, you know, since he was burnt out. I'll come back this way, and if Mrs Malling can put me up for the night, I'll be grateful.

You boys can give your old engine away if you want to." "We'll do nothing of the kind!" exclaimed Bert. "We bought and paid for that engine, when there was no prospect of Lakeville having anything like a department. Now we have a good organization and " "Yes, and we can put out fires!" interrupted Cole. "My force pump " "Dry up!" exclaimed Vincent, pulling Cole by the coat-tails.
