Searchlight for Fire Engine and other dramatic notes
A steam carriage once traveled Paris to Rouen in twelve hours and fifty minutes, a feat praised widely. Two years later a petroleum carriage covered 726 miles in forty eight hours forty three minutes at about sixteen mph. A new searchlight fire engine, designed with Fire Chief Croker input, arrived from Elmira and passed tests. It will be stationed at Engine Company 20 in a busy dry goods district to fight large fires with illuminated screens and a marine style generator. The piece also muses on Pitcairn Island as a remote refuge for fugitives, recounting mutiny era history and moral caution about exile and law in the modern era.
