partment Has Had Adventurous Career and
Through 1t All Has Been Gaining Ex-
perience for Post He Now Holds.

In the meantime the water tower and the
lines from the other side drove the heat
and choking smoke TO the side where the
two were operating. so that Lally. smoke
eater that he is. was forced to drop the
hose and telling Kenlon TO follow him, de-
seconded the ladder Getting into the street
and recovering sight and sense. Lally
missed Kenlon. With a few picked men
he went back into the acrid fumes. and
there at the head Of the shaft was Kenlon,
almost unconscious but still holding the
line
AS most OF the work that he did was in
the section below 23d street, Kenlon saw
only the most active fighting during his
career as ordinary fireman. When in 1892
his qualities as fire fighter became recog-
nized he was promoted. and after that time
his rise was rapid.
When Kenlon took charge OF the fire
feet there was a ragged and conflicting
system and most of the boats were in
poor repair. The men were little drilled,
and because the boats were in charge or
the engine company commanders many
devices were needed that at that time
old not exist With mis- knowledge OF
marine engineering and shipshape meth
DDS. Kenlon began a regime Of true naval
precision. Crews were drilled and placed
under orders for regularly assigned duties
and tasks A system of flreboat whistle
signals was devised. whereby confusion
might be avoided where the boats were
working under the cover Of thick smoke,
and which now allows a boat TO work

Of the most important Of which is an auto

double she coupling" which in case a
powerhouse loses its pumping power ad-
mits the fireboat 10 furnish higher pres
sure than the pumping station itself could
give. For example, # the Gansevoort
powerhouse should lose its power through
fire or earthquake through the Kenlon
coupling device the Willard and the New
Yorker will furnish more water at as
high a pressure as the GansevOort station
would This coupling is carried by all
freboats in case of such an emergency.
and through Kenlons instruction its use
is taught.
In former days. when boat needed re-
pairs or painting. it was customary 10
put it out OF commission and ask for
bids on the parts needed. This method
sometimes kept boat out OF commission
