They had with them supplies for Mr. Hisson, which Mr. Addison delivered every week.

The saw was of the circular type, arranged on a. homemade platform and driven by a motor car engine. As the result of some defect, the blade broke while Mr. Weeks was feeding in a pole. One piece caught his right arm` just below the elbow, severing the twc bones through, and cutting the arm ialmost off.
