It was not a party - they would be coming to that bush with rather large storage vessels [say, about the size of a 5 gal gasoline can], fill those, clamp the hose again and walk away with the filled cans. The thing actually took them a few weeks, for they could not have a pilgrimage to that bush so as not to attract excessive attention. The plant railroad yard people were in on the scheme - they had to park that tank-car in the yard far corner next to the fence and not to disrupt the arrangement for a while.
