cypress logs, thirty, forty, fifty and sixty

probably forty feet in length, supported
on either side by strong stancheons or
arms. At the top of these leaders and
on cross bar connecting them, are two
wheels, over each of which works a
large rope. one for raising the hammer.
aud the other for raising the piles and
placing them in position.
The hammer Is of solid iron, and
weighs 1900 pounds There is q grab
