It was Allison himself who first called attention to an unsawed log which was being discarded. "That looks like too good a stick to be wasted, doesn't it, McLean?" he asked. Before McLean could answer the boy spat gravely into a pile of sawdust, his piping voice rising above the shrill scream of the saws. "She's holler," he stated succintly. "Dry rotten above the stub!"
Seven corpses were brought in and placed upon the pyres, built up of unsawed cord wood in cob style, raised to the height of four feet, the fire being applied to a small handful of specially combustible material at the bottom. The whole was so prepared as to ignite rapidly, and in a very few moments after the torch was applied to it, the pile was wreathed in the devouring element.
It was nearly night when we reached Clark's, and we were in just the condition to appreciate the big fireplace of the sitting-room piled with unsawed cordwood, by which we dried our dripping clothes and rehearsed our experiences.
