MOONLIGHT AND HOSES
A suburban fire brigade, had it reached the fire it set out for on recent night would have made the Tasman flight appear a trifliug feat, states the Auckland Sun. Panoplied for fire fray, the brigade ' left its station, and headed for an angry glow on the horizon. On the engine rushed, but the origin of the flames seemed no nearer. The outskirts of the town were reached, but no man could see the Will o* the Wisp fire. Then came a revelation —over the hill-tops came the moon. It was the fiery prelude to its rising that had lured the fire-fighters from the station. The superintendent and his men could, with splendid aptness, have sung, "I Feel so Silly When the Moon Comes Out" —but they did not.
