Ancient bump for 3-of-4 maybe:

Kipling used "Blue Light" in two related ways. Here it's same as modern flares for signaling, perimeter security, emergency lighting &c.

In the Gunner Barnabas narrative or "Blue Light Bobs." &c it's a nickname for a Christian officer with "Blue Light" intensity evangelism.

"Strawed" is Scots for strewed.

"Swin" is the old name for the northern approach to the Thames, aka The King's Channel.

Dunno about "Dulcies."
