The sweet, clean scent of the newly sawn lumber mingled with the cool breath of the water. The big mill, so noisy and busy in the daytime, was silent and deserted, except for the watchman. He was seated in the wide doorway of the engine-room. Behind him, in the warm darkness, shone a red line from beneath the furnace door.
It was immediately hoisted on board, sawn into convenient lengths, and stowed away, the whole operation being completed, of getting between eight and ten tons of firewood cut, ferried, and stowed, in less than eight hours. Next day was devoted to watering; but as I have elsewhere described that necessary if prosaic occupation, I will not repeat the story.
While we are in the bending mood, however, we will get that Lorenzo Guadagnini into a little better trim, you left it on that shelf over there last week." James fetches it, a rather woe-begone affair to an ordinary observer; it had been cut open, the head sawn off, placed inside, the upper table laid on and a string passed round the waist and tied with a loose knot.
Underneath this, again, are the saw-pits, where logs are cut into deals of all dimensions a laborious and painful process when performed by manual labour, as must have been apparent to all who have witnessed it and who has not? The sawn timber is stowed in 'racks' in the rear of the building.
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheep skins, and goat skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented; of whom the world was not worthy. But we will come to the Lord Jesus himself. Whither did his desires bring him? Whither did they carry him? and to what did they make him stoop?
What was his surprise and sorrow when he saw that every one of his apricots was gone, and the tree itself sawn nearly in two, close to the root! Throwing down his basket, Ned ran to his grandmother, who was just come down stairs, and had begun to light the fire. He could only exclaim, "O my apricots, my apricots, they are all gone!
All the work about her is of the roughest kind. The trees when found of a suitable size are cut down, stripped of their bark, and sawn into convenient lengths; the sides are not squared, but left just as they grew. No artificial means are resorted to for any bends; a tree or branch of a tree is found with the requisite natural curvature.
On the table lay a man with a shattered gangrenous knee. He received gas and became unconscious, but, just as the bone was being sawn through, he regained his senses. His face was ashen pale and the sweat ran down it in big drops. He was too weak to struggle, but his eyes were staring in a way that was terrible to see.
Two contrary conditions had to be considered the hostility of white ants to buildings of wood, and the necessity for raising the floor but slightly above the level of the ground. A bloodwood-tree, tall, straight, and slim, was felled. It provided three logs two each 15 feet long and one 13 feet. From another tree another 13-foot log was sawn.
Cabbage and potatoes are the only plants cultivated in the gardens, but out of the hedge there grows a willow tree, and under this willow tree sat a little girl, and she sat with her eyes fixed upon the old oak tree between the two huts. "It was an old withered stem. It had been sawn off at the top, and a stork had built his nest upon it; and he stood in this nest clapping with his beak.
