By Jiminy, that was some fire for an old hay barn, wasn't it, fellows? exclaimed Jiminy Gordon, as he entered the meeting room at headquarters. His eyes were flashing excitement and he was thoroughly out of breath from running up the long Otter Creek Hill. I stayed until the last spark was out, he said, as he dropped into a chair beside Bruce Clifford, leader of the Owl Patrol of Quarry Troop No. 1.
Some fire, is perfectly correct, said Bruce bitterly, though it needn't have been anything more than an ordinary blaze. I tell you the Woodbridge Fire Department needs a little pep, fellows. This last was addressed to the four other occupants of the room, Bud Weir, Romper Ryan, Babe Wilson and Nipper Knapp.
Right, said Romper.
The way they went about it was a farce, said Bud.
Yes, they all had to have their red flannel shirts on, remarked Babe, the fat boy, sarcastically.
Say, did you see 'em scrapping over who should carry the fire trumpet? laughed Romper.
