Sowerbutt's Fires

The exhausted fireman was pleased to talk. “With our taxi, just been pulled back from Shoe Lane, One pump and our hose against dozens of fires. The fires are out of control. Low tide and there’s not much water to pump up. Nothing more we could do.”

Sowerbutt's Fashion Show

“Cor blimey, you must have come for the fashion show?” asked the auxiliary fireman, standing near the entrance to St Paul’s. Sowerbutt burst out laughing. His leather jacket was torn and burnt; what was left of his  shirt was streaked with ash and brick dust. Some of his long brown hair was missing where sparks had cascaded from falling timber.

Sowerbutt's Shot

Missionary raised his Webley and fired, the bullet hitting the Spaniard in the middle of his forehead. With a shocked expression on his face, the man stood motionless for a second, arms outstretched. He pitched forward, dead.

Sowerbutt's Fight

The Spaniard’s voice rising, he shouted: “Come on, boy. Fight like a man. Are you scared of me? Hijo de puta.” He pulled a knife from his belt and took a step forward.

Sowerbutt's Tableau

The shed turned into a frozen tableau. The street boys stood stock still, ready to run. The Spaniards, muttered and looked sullen, ready for a fight.

Sowerbutt's Trigger

Missionary nodded to one of his lads who aimed his shotgun at a fence running away from the shed and pulled the trigger. The pattern of shot would have killed anyone standing in the way.
