The remaining pipes extend all 

 through the ground floor and the 

 upper parts of the building; and have 

 connected to them 26 large fire cocks, 

 each, except No. 36, fitted also with 

 a tap for filling buckets, and 2 

 smaller sized cocks ; and 7 small 

 Engines are distributed throughout 

 these parts of the building ; the whole 

 being numbered consecutively from 

 9 to 49, both inclusive. Besides the 

 7 small engines and 3 hose trucks in 

 the building, there are in the engine- 

 house 3 large engines, one hose reel, 

 and a ladder-carriage, numbered from 

 141 to 145 both inclusive. 228 fire 

 buckets are distributed throughout the 

 building, six being hung near each of 

 the 30 large fire cocks, and the re- 

 mainder in other prominent places; 

 and close by every fire cock or en- 

 gine there is a sufficient supply of 

 hose and other necessary apparatus. 

 The whole of the connecting screws 

 are of a uniform size and pattern, the 

 same as those used by the Metropolitan 

 Fire Brigade, so that every length of 

 hose may be used indiscriminately for 

 any engine or fire cock inside or out- 

 side. 



There are also 24 hand-pumps in 

 buckets, with hose aud nozzles screwed 

 on, and ready for immediate work. 

 One of these will always be found in 

 each of the following places, viz. : — 



One in Mr. Poole's Residence, 

 opposite No. 97 Fire Cock, West 

 side. 



One in Mr. Franks's Residence, 

 opposite No. 97 Fire Cock, West 

 side.
