"Made a new balancer for canoe. "Began to prepare pirogue with marine glue before putting the rudder-post. "Lengthened cross-pieces; completed beam for catamaran, adding details of ironwork. "Demolished old balancer log of canoe, and began to saw it to make a little bridge. "Found that boiling wood was the best plan for bending it; steaming is too troublesome. "Thought much about sails.
Here he is," Ned added, as the giant came forward, in response to a signal bell that Tom's chum had rung. "It's too late to try the deflecting rudder!" tried Tom. "I must see what is the matter with our balancer." As he spoke the ship gave a terrific plunge, and the occupants were thrown sideways.

And yet Draper, that expert balancer on the tight rope, managed to carry on a government under these conditions for three full years.
But I've only Dinky-Dunk's bulky grain-scales, and it's impossible to figure down to anything as fine as ounces or even quarter-pounds on such a balancer. Yet my babies, I'm afraid, are not gaining as they ought. Poppsy is especially fretful of late. Why can't somebody invent children without colic, anyway?
