about that time some one yelled out
hoist !! not knowing that Mr.. II.
was fastened. The team started out,
and Mr.. H. also started, feet first,
and when about half way up he
managed to catch hold of the ladder,
and then he says he felt perfectly
safe. And we are glad to note that
he escaped with no injuries. After
