The sailor who made this wheel
barrow was cast on an island where
he knew he would have TO wait for
some time before n ship was likely
to take him OFF. So in the meantime
he had 10 provide himself with food
and shelter. This was not difficult,
for the wreck Of his little vessel was
close by on the beach. But carrying
the material out Of IL and well TO the
beach. where IL would be safe from
tides ana storms entailed much labor,
so he set 10 work TO make wheel
barrow. He took q -four barrel and
n soap box that had washed ashore,
and, with hammer and nails from
the wreck, he soon finished n per
fectly practical wheelbarrow.
This IS the way to DO what he did:
Take the two heads out of a barrel.
Do il carefully. so that the wood shall
not be split. Now lay these two heads
