The Radio Gunner

Eleven years after this incident, one October afternoon, Jim Evans, now at boarding-school, had gone up into the laboratory in the top of the schoolhouse to finish an experiment with a new radio hook-up before putting on his football clothes. He had just become absorbed in his task when he heard the ringing of a bell which sounded the fire alarm. Every boy in the school had his duty in the fire brigade assigned him, and all knew that this summons took precedence over everything.
