Nobody didn't say nothing for a minute or two; and then Ike Williams spoke up he was the boss carpenter on the freight-house job, Ike was and said if what was wanted could be made out of boards, and made in a hurry, he'd lay off the freight-house gang the next morning and engage to have one ready by noon. Santa Fé Charley'd been sitting still thinking, not saying a word.
Finally, one rainy morning I secured work at a freight-house. It was my lot to go first up the wet, steep, and slippery gang-plank. Not being used to such a task, I fell, the truck with 350 pounds narrowly escaping me. I got up and made a second attempt to carry my load, and with success. I had been there two months when the agent wanted some new shelves built in the storehouse.
