NEW YoRK'S BRAvEST FIREMAN

wearer.

The bravest fireman that ever donned
a helmet received the reward Of his cone
spicuous bravery ~ twenty-thrce years
ogo In Brooklyn, and was retired on fun
pay. THAT was the term applied by Com
missioner Waldo. when he grRsped Cap
tain James J. Mccormick by the hand and
told him he might retire from active duty
and receive $500 a year for tho remainder
OF his life.
Captain jim" as he h known 70
everybody in the fire department, had
seen twenty-nine years Of service. For
twenty-three years he has horne the dis
figuring scars received when he sacrificed
himself to save the lives OF the men Of
engine company No. II IN a great Brook
Ign fire. Recently he appeared before
Commissioner Waldo and asked TO be re-
tired.
i've got to submit to an operation"
he said. I'm afraid I'll never pull
through, but there's a slender chance,
and I'm going to take It."
mo man in the department has a rec
ord for bravery that equals YOURS" said
the commissioner. and a fitting reward
would be TO retire you on full pay, which
I now do"
II was in 1883 that engine company Ne.
II, in charge Of Captain Mccormick, was
summoned 10 fight blaze in the Pratt
oil works in Brooklyn. Although by the
time they arrived the building was rag
ing furnace. Captain Mccormick and hia
men forced their way in and began a bat
tie against hopeless odds They were re-
/ treating slowly when series OF eXplo-
slons shook the building and the firemen
were surrounded with flame. The fire
/ fighters lost their presence Of mind and
began cropping In all directions. Captain
Mccormick seized the nearest man and
threw him to the floor
Now all Of you lie down flat" he or
dered, land keep crawling toward the
door"
He soon Gained the men. who. crouch
ing down under the flames that were
darting from above, were soon crawling
| single file toward the open. Captain Nc
! Cormick, taking no thought for himself.
seized the nozzle Of a hose and played
stream of water over the retreating ng-
ures until all had reached the door. Then
he threw the hose aside and made dash
for the open. He had to pass literally
! through a wall Of fire. He staggered into
the street with his clothing afire in
dozen places, his hair singed and terrible
burns all over his body and fell unoon-
scious. Both of his eyeids were so badly
burned that he has never been able to
close his eyes since.
For nearly a year Captain Mccormick
lay in a hospital, and when he was dis
charged he was a wreck of the big fire
! fighter His face was 80 Scared and
burned that many Of his friends failed to
recognize him. his left arm was shriveled
to half its former size, and both arms
were useless. He reported back for duty
in 1889 and was assigned TO an easy de-
! tail in the office OF the fire marshal
where he has served ever sinoe.-New

canal. and there is nothing on the deck
or about the craft to indicate how the ma
terlal is scooped up.
All this material is first cut up by the
knives or agitator, which is attached TO
the ladder hung in the well in the bow OF
the dredRe. The knives are suspended by
s+aeI cables and can be raised or lowered
