...buckle arctics, shook the rain from his shoulders, entered the Nanty Glo State Bank across the street. In Suchman's jewelry store, a few doors from the bank, a miner's wife looked over the slim stock of watches, hunting a gift for her soldier son. The pillar of smoke that came from the main stack of the Heisley mine (one of the three within the town's limits) fused into the rain, flattened, hung over the landscape in a grey pall.

In one of the passengers' cabins a fire had started and begun to spread. The plume of smoke filled to a straight black pillar in the almost windless air, within view of all ships in the convoy. A minute later the seriousness of the sight was vouched for: the Wakefield broke radio silence with the message: "I am on fire...
