But still at the same time I came to the conclusion that the stuff was worth looting, and so set to work quarrying it out with the heel of my boot and a pocket-knife. The sheets were all more or less stuck together, and so I did not go in for separating them farther.
Seems as if he hit me, too." "Going to make a camp for the two of us, feed us, and get us out of the wilderness. That's what I am going to do," replied Ned. "You'll do it, all right; but what have you got to work with?" "Pocket-knife and some matches. First thing I'll make a fire to dry you. Then I'll forage.

A rusted pocket-knife lay there, and on the left breast of the skeleton rested a round piece of tin, the top of a canister, which might have reposed in a coat pocket. Jenks picked it up.
