So I put it to a lot of fellers where they got their buildin' m'ter'ls.

Wal, after figurin' round a spell, 'n' makin' signs by the schuner load, found out the hull thing.

Every stun in this place was whittled out 'f the ruff-scuff at the bottom of the mounting, 'n' fetched up here in blankets on men's shoulders.

All the mud, too, to make their bricks, was backed up in the same way.

Feller off with his blanket 'n' showed me how they did it.
