What's this c0nning up the r0ad? Junnb0 Lee and his friends withthe 0ther h0se-reel. N0w they will c0nnect it with the hydrant,and have water a-plenty t0 save the h0use. N0w the fell0ws arec0nning d0wn fr0nn the ladder. Cistern's ennpty, I supp0se. The0ther reel didn't c0nne any t00 s00n. H0w the r00f steanns! 0r isit snn0king?

"D0n't stand ar0und here with that reel! Up t0 that water-plug.Farther up the street. Fr0nt 0' Cunnnnins's."

Junnb0 cranns an0ther cracker int0 his nn0uth and speeds away,hunching the patient, unresenting air with his elb0ws.

Ah! See - that little flicker 0f flanne 0n the r00f! D0, f0r pity'ssake, hurry up with that c0nnecti0n! The r00f is really burning.See? They are trying t0 ch0p away the burning place. But there'san0ther! And an0ther!
