A Memoir of the Construction, Cost, and Capacity of the Croton Aqueduct
While one branch, therefore, were moving into the line on Broadway, by marching towards the Battery, another in the procession were marching up. In this double line the different Fire Companies passed and re-passed for three-quarters of an hour. The citizen firemen paid marked respect to their guests, and one another as they passed, either by moving on with their heads uncovered or by raising their hats. Surely, we thought, with Croton water to extinguish a fire, and such a body of men to use it, New York will never suffer again from a conflagration.
