But now, thanks to "Bill Spear," it is no longer for rent. The house has been raised from the ground, new sills placed under it, and while every part scantling, rafter, joist, crossbeam, lath and weatherboard of the original house has been retained, it has been put in such order that it is no longer going to ruin. From the ample stores of his various antiquarian depositories Mr.
There's one joist pinnin' my left shoulder, and my leg's jammed under another; and stir I cannot." Sam lit another match. "I was fearin' " he began, but broke off. "If you could manage, ma'am, to draw up your knee an inch or so or if you wouldn' mind my takin' a pull " "Not at all," said Mrs. Lobb. "I'm used to bein' pinched."

The sides were braced with heavy timbers like a mine shaft to prevent the dirt from falling in and there was the constant danger that in spite of this it might cave in. We went down by rough ladders made by nailing strips of board across two pieces of joist and the work down there was back-breaking and monotonous. We heaved the dirt into a big iron bucket lowered by the hoisting engine above.

He retreated out of the door, while his men threw themselves forward to bind Wallace where he lay; but the first man, in his eagerness, striking his head against a joist in the roof, uttered a fierce oath. The noise roused Wallace, whose wakeful senses had rather slumbered than slept, and opening his eyes, he he sprung on his feet. A moment told him enemies were around.

"Do we not respect you?" said an old man.
The tools in the machine shop were not numerous enough to advantageously utilize more of them there, and the building was now very important to them, as the four boys were compelled to sleep in the shop, for want of room in the house. The joist had all been laid for the lower floor and the studding now being put up and the upper joist laid on preparatory to erecting the rafters.
I visited another in Hiva-oa, smaller but more perfect, where it was easy to follow rows of benches, and to distinguish isolated seats of honour for eminent persons; and where, on the upper platform, a single joist of the temple or dead-house still remained, its uprights richly carved.
