“I needs more wata over here!” Finch was screaming. Jack, Crutchie. Lizzy, Davey, and Les arrived and immediately began helping the other newsies. Jack and Davey were throwing buckets of water at the flames. Crutchie was keeping eye on the fire, watching for it to spread. Lizzy and Les were filling buckets to give to the older boys.
“Where's the fire department?” Lizzy asked Les.
“Miss Larkin called them ten minutes ago. C'mon boys!” Specs yelled, rushing back to the fire. Miss Medda Larkin was one of the richest women on Long Island. Jack painted sets for her. She loves the newsies as if they were her own kids.
“C'mon newsies! We got to hurry!” Davey was yelling somewhere. The smoke was being blown around, making the kids vision blurred and it hard to breathe. Lizzy filled bucket after bucket, handing them to newsies after newsie.
“The fire's spreading! Jack, the fire's spreading!” Crutchie screamed.
