Next day the "Eagle" was anchored with a piece of rail-road iron, over a pocket, and the crew engaged in diving through the transparent water to the bottom, where they would gather one or two pavers, return to the top, and drop them into the boat.

Paul had much difficulty in teaching his companions to keep their eyes open while under water.

This occupation was pursued with varying success during the summer months of '59.

The contractor came down every week to cart the "pavers" away; and many a dispute the boys had with him over the count.

The dispute was generally decided by the carts driving off, and the contractor paying whatever he pleased.
