Saving Out a Channel Above Island
No 10

From an account in the Cenfhrg by
Colonel j. w. Bissell, of the Engineer
corps, who had the work in Charge, we
quote the following 'sThe way through
the submerged corn field and the half
mile of road was easy enough, but when
we reached the timber the labor Of saw
ing out channel commenced. The one
steamer which had q powerful steam
capstan was put in the lead, and the
others having hand capstans were fas-
tened single file in the rear, and then the
six barges In like order, so that the pro-
grcss of the first controlled all the
others Captain Tweddale took charge
Of the cutting in front, while Lieutenant
Randolph was fitting up the improyised
guu-boats astern. About 300 men were
assigned to each, aud they worked in re-
lays without the slightest intermissioD
from daybreak until dark.
First Of all, men standing on plat
forms on small RATS cut off the trees
about eight feet above the water. As
soon as tree was down another set of
men, provided with boats and lines, adj
iuated about 1t . line which ran through
q snatch block and back to the steam
capstan, and hauled it out of the way
thus partial cut was made forward, the
lines always working more than 200 feet
ahead Of the capstan, SO as to leave
plenty Of room for the saws. It took
about four sets 81 lines to keep pace With
twelve saws.
tsyYhen the space about the stumps
allowed sufficient room, o raft about
forty feet long was dashed to stump,
and the saw set At work in a frame AZ
tached by pivot and working IN an
arc, two mon working the saw at OPP

It commenced running up, we noticed the

pulled the top Of the stump over.
Here was where the ingenuity oE the
officers and men was exercised as the
saws we're working four and half feet
beneath the surface. and tho water was
quite turbid. the question was how to
ascertain what was interfering with the
