Such was the progress of the flames that it was feared the ancient edifice would have to be sacrificed. Mr. Harris, however, appeared upon the scene, and with characteristic energy mounted a ladder, and by the skilful use of the axe and buckets managed to save the build- ing. For this brave act a silver pitcher was soon after presented to him, with a view of the fire engraved on one side, and on the other the following inscription : ** To Mr. Isaac Harris. For his intrepid and successful exerti...ons on the roof of the Old South Church when on fire, December 29th, 18 10, the Society present this token of their gratitude. Boston, January 29th, 181 1." Many persons can remember the buckets and fire-bags which used to hang in the entries of our houses, ready for instant use. The steam fire- engines and the admirably equipped force to man them, with which the Boston of to-day is familiar, have long since displaced the primitive and inadequate method of passing buckets from hand to hand; but the fathers managed to put out fires even with such limited appliances.
