THE CHINA MATE, NOVEMBER 19, 1940 –
THE ABBEY WINDOWS
NIGHT WITH THE FIRE-FIGHTER HEROES OF LONDON
(MISS HELEN KIRKPATRICK, of the London staff of the Chicago "Daily News," sent the follow- ing message to her paper:)
Our first alarm of the evening had been caused by a handsome combination of a few high explosives and a "Molotov breadbasket," and it was a pretty good blaze even in the eyes of the A.F.S., who do not consider anything less than a five-alarm fire worthy of mention.
Strictly speaking, it was not the first alarm that had been sounded, but it was the first our fire-fight- ing friends in the gigantic control room, feet under- ground, thought we should bother with. So we piled into a fire car and dashed off to a well-known Central London street. About 30 pumps were working on it when we got there, after making our way along the glass-covered street.
A building opposite to the one | opening fireplugs for pumps which afire had been rüzed by explosive | câme up one every few seconds. and we had to climb over heaps I again retreated across the street, of bricks to get up to the front But to-day, when every other line where hoses were playing on citizen in this city is pretty close the top of an office building. to being a hero, the fire fighters "Watch it. Hose coming up," stand out. There are no words to and we jumped aside as another describe their fearlessness,... powerful stream leapt into the air. The accumulation of hoses, fire- men and police in the small arca suggested that WC had better make way, so we stood on the steps of an adjacent building. Just then came the now familiar whizz of an approaching bomb and someone yelled. "Down flat. everybody."

BROKEN IN RAID
The window of Westminster Abbey was slightly damaged during a recent air raid.
The damage was very slight, and only a few small squares were broken," said an official. "They can easily be replaced, and if that is all we have to trouble about we shall be lucky.“
The window dated from the 18th century and depicted the Pro- phets.

'Anyone got a plece of soap?".
A policeman disappeared into the building and returned with a cake. As it smothered the gas out he called: "Hey, mate, don't forget to return it. I might want to wash me hands."
