Story
Fire Chief Seagoon is lying in bed (when will the fellow tell the truth?) in Wandsworth Fire Station as news comes through that the British Embassy in Old Peking is ablaze. The Chinese Government is velly anxious that Blitish flyermen should put flyer out. So Ned sets off for Peking only to find out that his precious water parcels evaporate when they reach the Middle East. Something must be done to put out the sun. So why is Eccles putting another twig on it? And by the time insurance fraud Moriarty gets to the parcels they are smelling suspiciously of petrol. Velly solly.
