She sent a carrier pigeon to Garrison HQ in Lancaster, and sent a messenger on horseback to the neighbouring outpost in Skelmersdale. In turn, Skelmersdale has no doubt sent riders to alert Wigan and Preston, and reinforcements will be on their way.<\/p>\n \u201cAh! No electricity!\u201d says Mr Rafone, \u201csomething must be kicking off!\u201d<\/p>\n The classroom is bright enough on a Friday afternoon, without electric light, and Mr Rafone\u2019s Civics class continues as normal. Perhaps one or two of the science teachers might be upset, but if they\u2019re currently using electricity, then the school\u2019s own back up systems should be enough to cope with the load.<\/p>\n At the far end of St George\u2019s Quay, there\u2019s frantic activity at the Garrison and the lights are on!

Faraday always prints and distributes The Lancastrian<\/em> on a Friday.<\/p>\n The riders, the stagecoaches and the ferrymen are always ready. The weekly routine is timed specifically to have the newspaper ready by mid evening so that it can be transported by sea on the same day, to places like Ulverston and Preston. From these three main distribution points it goes overland to reach the smaller inland towns. That ensures that it\u2019s available on newsstands every Saturday morning.
