But we are on the work of a new neck; therefore the marking off should be done to some general standard. A good one may be reckoned as follows, for a violin of fourteen inches long and average width total length of fingerboard, exclusive of nut, ten and a half inches greatest width, one inch and five-eighths, width at nut, one-sixteenth under an inch.
Montague was not prepared for this contingency; but he did some mental arithmetic. "What is the present price of the stock?" he asked. "Fifty-nine and five-eighths," was the reply. "Then sixty thousand dollars is more than ten per cent, of the market price," said Montague. "Yes," said Mr. Streeter.
After that, on the face of the wood that is to say, the front, as though looking at the fingerboard, I mark at four-and-a-quarter inches from end of the head, which is to be the end of peg-box, and three inches from that, the narrow end of said box that is to be cut.

The cañon is five-eighths of a mile long, with an angry and swift current. Although the raft was tossed about like a cockleshell, it went through without injury, and none of the goods were displaced or harmed.
The harpoon consists of a pole fifteen or sixteen feet in length, usually of hickory or some other hard wood, upon which the bark has been left, so that the harpooner may have a firmer hand-grip. This pole is from an inch and a half to two inches in diameter, and at one end is provided with an iron rod, or "shank," about two feet long and five-eighths of an inch in diameter.
