Excerpt from Kelp: A Story of the Isles of Shoals On reaching Tremont Street, they found men and boys running in the same direction.

Cried Tom suddenly, catching a boy of about his own age by the sleeve. Going to the fire, Bert? - Father, this is Herbert Martin. He was in the first class with Ran, you know. Mr. Percival nodded hastily, but was too anxious for the safety of his building and its contents to pay much attention to the boy.
