A QUEER PILE-DRIVER.
The Chinese Cut the Rope to Let the
WEIGHT Fall.

From the San Francisco Call
One of the Queerest and most primitive
pile-drivers to be seen in California Is at
one of the Chinese fishing camps on the
McNear ranch. almost opposite the TWO
Sisters, in San Pablo bay. The appear
ance of the contrivance is much like the
pile-drivers in general use, but the way It
is nut together and operated is ludicrous.
Every part of the machine is made of
wood except the nails that hold il together.
The hammer is part of a log. II Is about
two feet thick and five feet long. II is
placed between the uprights and kept
from falling out by several wooden pegs
driven in on both sides. The uprights are
made of some old scantling picked up on
the bay shore, and are nailed ana tled TO-
gether and braced with odd pieces OF lum-
Der
The operating machinery is about as
complicated as a grindstone. All there
is 10 it is couple of pulleys. a hook and a
piece of rope One pulley-block is sus-
pended from the top of the upright frame
and the other is allowed TO hang loose:
rope is run through a hole in the top OF the
lower pulley block is slipped through. All
hands then pull until the hammer reaches
the top. At this interesting part of the
performance a man climbs to the top of
the uprights and with a knife cuts the
rope that is run through the top OF the
hammer, allowing ii to drop on the pie
1t is certainly effective, for the pile Is
driven good distance into the soft mud
at each blow. The process of tying the
hammer to the puliey-block and cutting
1t loose after it reaches the top is repeated
until the pile is driven as deep as Is
wanted.
The Chinese who own the pile-driver use
1t for building their small wharves, and
when they start it going the whole settle
ment turns out and lends assistance. Some
of the men really supply a little of the
needed muscle, but the majority do their
share of the work by jumping around and
yelling in an excited manner
