bridging. We had been out two days and
nights trying to bridge Il very swift and
deep stream, but had been una bic to get
the bents in position for the stringers.
Hughes suggested that we cut screw
points on the upright posts, and screw
them into the bed of the stream and then
saw off at proper length and attach the
upper timbers. We all thought him crazy.
but we found that during the night he
had pointed one of the upright timbers,
then cut Il spiral notch about five feet
from the lower end. We decided to let
him have a trial, so he dashed two of our
RATS together, with a space between, suf-
ficient to lower the first post. He then
stood the post on end in the bed of the
stream, and by using spikes capstand
fashion, we soon had the post securely in
position. The success was so complete
that Hughes was put in charge of post
setting, and soon the bridge was finished.
At that time Hughes was boy of prob
ably 49, and in poor health. We under

this feat, and probably he secured it,
