For these we use a five-sixteenths dowel, feather it with short, low cut parabolic feathers and put a small barbed head on it about an inch in length. Such an arrow we paint dark green, blue, or black, so that the bird cannot discern its flight. It is great sport to shoot at some lazy old buzzard as he comes within range.
He made up arrows in lots of five or ten, according to the requirements, his fingers being the measure. The sticks thus straightened he ran back and forth between two grooved pieces of sandstone or revolved them on his thigh while holding the stones in his hand, until they were smooth and reduced to a diameter of about five-sixteenths of an inch.
Then measure the height of this bridge, from belly to its top at centre, as one and five-sixteenths of an inch, nicely curving it so that ease of bowing is obtained, as spoken of before.
Yes, that is all right five-sixteenths is in this case five ounces." "Yes, yes; I understand that well enough," I interrupted, although in truth I understood nothing more whatever. I tried once more to get this little account right, that I could have totted up in a second some months ago.
The top of a wave was trying to get in from the outside, but as the plate did not open in that direction, the defeated water spurted back. "Not bad for five-sixteenths of an inch," said the bulwark-plate. "My work, I see, is laid down for the night"; and it began opening and shutting, as it was designed to do, with the motion of the ship.
"Yes; but there's only dark, and cold, and hurry, down here; and how do I know whether the other plates are doing their duty? Those bulwark-plates up above, I've heard, ain't more than five-sixteenths of an inch thick scandalous, I call it." "I agree with you," said a huge web-frame, by the main cargo-hatch.
Why, the smell of the cheese was enough to finish a man; ... and I made the greatest fun of this and all other Dutch cheeses.... No; set me to reckon up something really eatable, said I set me, if you like, at five-sixteenths of good dairy butter. That is another matter. I laughed feverishly at my own whim, and found it peculiarly diverting.
