FIREMEN AT WORK.
Difficulties They Encounter when
Cold Snap Comes.
From the Century Magazine.

From the Century Magazine.
The overwork and exposure of New York
firemen whenever "cold snap" visits that
city is graphically described by Jacob A.
Riis.
What Col Roosevelt said of his Rough
Riders after the fight in the trenches be-
fore Santiago, that it is the test of mems
nerve to have them reused up at O'Clock
in the morning, hungry and cold, to fight
an enemy attacking in the dark, and then
nave them all run the same way-forward
is true of the firemen as well, and, like
the Rough Riders. they never failed when
the test came. The firemen going to the
front at the tap of the bell, no less sure
ly to grapple with lurking death than
the men who faced Mauser bullets, but
with none of the incidents of glorious war,
che flag, the hurrah, and ell the things
that fire a soldiers heart, to urge them
ou-clinging half-naked, with numb fin
gers to the ladders as best they can while
trying TO put on their stiff and frozen gar
ments--is one of the sights that make one
proud of being a man.
To see them in action, dripping icicles
from helmet to coat, high up on the lad
der. perhaps incased in solid ice and froz-
en- to the rungs, yet holding the stream as
steady to its work as if the spray from
the nozzle did not fall upon them in
showers of singing hail, is very apt TO
make man devoutly thankful that it Is
not his lot to fight fires in winter, 1t
is only couple of winters since, at the
burning of South street warehouse. two
ppemen had to be chopped from their lad
der with axes. so thick was the armor
of ice that had formed about and upon
them while they worked.
The terrible beauty of such sight is
very vivid in my memory. 1t was on the
morning when Chief Bresnan and Fore
man Rooney went down with half a doz-
en- of their men in the collapse of the
roof of a burning factory. The men of
the rank and file hewed their way
through to the open with their AXIS. ne
chief and the foreman We're caught I'M
der the big water-tank, the wooden sup
ports of which had been burned away,
and were killed. They were still lying
under the wreck when / came. The fire
was out The water running over the edge
of the tank, had frozen into huge icicles
that hung like a great white shroHd over
the bier of the two dead heroes. 1t was
a gas fixture factory, and the hundreds
of pipes, twisted into all manner of fan
tastic shapes of clustering ice. lent
most weird effect to the sorrowful scene.
l can still see Chief GicQuel, all smoke
begrimed. and with the tears streaming
down his big, manly face-poor Gicquel!
he went to join his brothers in so many
a hard fight only the other day-pointing
back toward the wreck with the choking
words, They are in there" They had
fought their last fight and won, as they
ever did, even if they did give their lives
for the victory. Greater end no fireman
