He had rented one of the farms to Lawrence Lewis, also the mill and distillery, and was desirous of renting the fishery in order to have less work and fewer hands to attend to; in fact, "an entire new scene" was to be enacted.
The quotations fell: common stock 60, 59, 56, 50, 45, 48, 50, 52, 45, 40 so ran the dazzling line of figures across the blackboard, again and again. "There'll be fun to-morrow," White remarked, moving away. "Better come in and see Vinegar and Oil and the rest of Carson's list get a black eye." Sommers touched Webber, then shook him gently, asking, "What is it this time? Iron and Distillery?"
But by night a foundation had been leveled in a corner of the yard and the five barrel-like generators were firmly anchored and connected by lead pipes with the cooling and purifying box. "Looks purty much like a distillery," commented Buck, who had just made his last trip with the iron shavings, which were now piled close by the casks. "And is," laughed Ned, "in a way."
A distillery had been blazing there all night and a gang of workmen was now clearing the ruins. But as Charles and his mother came by the corner, the knot of people parted and gave passage to a line of stretchers six stretchers in all, and on each a body, which the bearers had not taken the trouble to cover from view.
Even the dirty and soot-begrimed appearance of the bricksheds and the stifling fumes of the distillery did not spoil the general good impression.

I remember an affair that took place at the old distillery in Cedar City, just before the massacre. Three men came to Cedar City one evening; they were poor, and much worn by their long journey. They were on their way to California.
The authorities believed they were dangerous men; that they were spies from Johnston's army; and ordered the Danites to devise a plan to put them out of the way decently and in order. That the will of God might be done, these men were coaxed to go to the old distillery and take a drink. They went in company with Danites John M. Higbee, John Weston, James Haslem, and Wm.
The presence of a new and suspicious smoke among the black stretch of roofs, caught his eye instantly; and he could tell in a moment, by its color, its speed of ascent, and the quantity of sparks accompanying it, whether it came from a carpenter's shop, a stable, a distillery, a camphene and oil store, or some other kind of building.
Shortly after his arrival he and other merchants asked permission to build wharves on the beach for the accommodation of their business. In 1751 he was appointed agent for victualling the Navy. Grog was at that time freely dispensed in the army and navy, and Mauger erected a distillery where he manufactured the rum required for the troops and seamen.
