It boiled into side streets and through every avenue which led in the direction of the prison. At each corner it gathered strength; every thoroughfare belched forth reinforcements; hundreds who had entertained no faintest notion of taking part fell in, were swallowed up in the seething tide, and went shouting to the very gates of the jail.
A horde of human figures were gathered about it, in a struggling, seething mass, and the man realised that a battle was raging, a human battle, whilst the demon of fire was left to work its will. He stood there, held speechless by the thing he beheld. "What is it? What does it mean?" Panic drove the questions to the girl's lips. And she turned in an agony of appeal to the man beside her.
I wanted Sam to go up against it." She smiled, but Milly might divine something of the courage it had taken for Marion to launch her small craft in the seething city. They talked a little longer, then parted, having exchanged addresses. "Take the subway," Marion called out as she plunged into the street, "get out when it stops, then walk!
