And HOiU. Just So
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Mighty and awesome are the tales which come out of Alaska, and the older the mightier But this one is vouched for as fact by w. E Spring stun. outside man for the East Waterway Dock.
 It seems Springstum was shipping in the old stern-w wheeler Monarch, which piled on the Tanana River around about 1912. The blunt-noSed paddle wheeler was making it's way down the stream into Fairbanks when she stuck her nose in a sand bar. and that was the end of navi- gating. At least, until the skipper and crew got an idea.
 wen walk 'er over," they said, and walk the little steamer did right across the sandbar and into deep water again. And this is how the "shank's mare" method was used according to Springstum:
 We rigged up two spars by plac- ing them at right angles to the cranks which operated the wheel. You see, with one end in the sand and the other against the cranks, they each made excellent pole vaults The idea we had was to turn the engine over and the boat would be lifted clear of the bar, and as the cranks kept turn ing, the boat would walk ahead a few feet
 We took cable and put it through a block and tackle fastened to a dead man ahead The free end we brought back and gave it a turn about the capstan.
 Then, with each revolution of the engine, which meant one more step forward, we heaved in the slack with the capstan and thus kept the ground we gained each time"
 This went on for three days, until the bar was conquered. Springstum has forgotten how many steps were necessary to put the vessel into deep water, but they must have been numerous, for the bar was only half the length of the ship.
