He found in the shed an iron gad, and with that and a stone he drove out the rivets. The rings were too strong to be "ovalled", * or he would have been free long ago. He packed the meat and bread together, and then pushing the gad into his belt it might be needed as a weapon of defence he set out on his journey.
