Her jib-boom was gone, and so were all three masts, clean cut off at the deck, as though a hand-saw had done it; but the mizzenmast was alongside, held by the shrouds and backstays, and the port main and fore shrouds streamed like serpents from her chains into the water.
While they were lamenting this fact, and wondering what to do, the dogs set up a racket, and were answered by some others. Benham was coming along at a rattling pace, his dogs very angry to find other dogs there, putting on airs of possession. "We got all this moose-meat," says Potts, when Benham arrived on the scene, "but we can't cut it." "Of course not. Where's your hand-saw?"
We all know the boastful story he told, how he and his three companions had been set upon and robbed by a hundred men, how he himself as witness his sword "packed like a hand-saw" had kept at bay and put to flight now two, anon four, and then seven, and finally eleven of his assailants.
The manufacture of a hand-saw cost infinite trouble, but at last an instrument was obtained which, when vigorously handled, could divide the ligneous fibers of the wood. They then made tables, seats, cupboards, to furnish the principal rooms, and bedsteads, of which all the bedding consisted of grass mattresses.
Two old men, armed each with a hand-saw, were silently at work upon the skiff. They were sawing it in two, exactly in the middle, and they did not look up until the Countess greeted them. "Hello! Changing the model of your boat?" she inquired. The partners straightened themselves stiffly and removed their caps. "Yep!" said Quirk, avoiding his partner's eyes. "Changing her model," Mr.
He will think of them before he starts. Every man should be provided with a good rifle, and, if convenient, with a pair of pistols, five pounds of powder, and ten pounds of lead. A revolving belt-pistol may be found useful. With the wagon, there should be carried such carpenter's tools as a hand-saw, auger, gimlet, chisel, shaving-knife, etc., an axe, hammer, and hatchet.
It was this same Banta who, when Fireman David H. Soden had been buried under the falling walls of a Pell Street house, crept through a gap in the basement wall, in among the fallen timbers, and, in imminent peril of his own life, worked there with a hand-saw two long hours to free his comrade, while the firemen held the severed timbers up with ropes to give him a chance.
Wasn't there enough in that talk with Mackaye, that you told me of just now, to show anybody that, who can tell a hawk from a hand-saw?" "Was it wrong in him to give himself such trouble about the education of a poor young fellow, who has no tie on him, who can never repay him?" "No; that's just like him. He feels for the people, for he has been one of us.
There stood the old soldier, by the window, examining narrowly into the temper of hand-saw and tenon-saw, broad-axe and drawing-knife; and as I came up to him, he looked at me from under his black brows with gruff compassion, and said peevishly, "Fine weapons these for the son of a gentleman! One bit of steel in the shape of a sword were worth them all."
The tools used by the carpenters, as appear from the representations on the monuments, were the axe, the adze, the hand-saw, the chisel, the drill, and the plane. These tools were made of bronze, with handles of acacia, tamarisk, and other hard woods. The hatchet, by which trees were felled, was used by boat-builders.
