The compass-man was an old gentleman dim of eyesight and slow of action. Young Carleton drove his first stake, at a point one hundred feet north of the Concord railway depot, which was opened in the month of August, 1845. The old compass-man then set his compass for a second sight, but before he could get out his spectacles and put them on, young Carleton read the point to him.
"Well, I'll organize regular survey groups compass-man, axe-man, rod-man, chain-men and let them run lines; and I'll make them estimate timber, and make a sketch map or so. It's all practical." "I should think so!" cried Bob. "I wonder if I could pass it myself." He laughed. "I should hate to tackle tying those things on that horse even after seeing those prospectors do it!"
