NANOTNG ON BY THE WEAPHSEÇOCK FOS
-FIFTEEN HOURS...:
This kito tying who & doul busines accomplish satisfactorily. It took days and sometimes weaks to get a line over the steeple or obicansy, but accidents afterwards were not very frequent- ------I have Zown hundreds of kites, un I say, and I can remember only two mishaps. In the_fat_instuace st Birmingham the pups. broke away when wo bad a man half-way up, and ho fall fifty foot, smashing himself to bits on a heap of slag; in this second case, down la Yorkshire, I had the line round the weather cook of a steeple, and was hailing a young chap': up, whon, just as he touched, the top, the line gave, and I expected to see lip osmic orashing down the whole hundred and fifty feet. He didn't though, and what happened after sounds like a miracle to hear. It seems that he felt the -line slacking, and when ho was within a yard of the watharesek he got his feft against the stone, and gave a sort of spring, throwing his arms round the ironwork, and holding on for his life. After that, he just climbed astride At the old stemple, and at thero for fiftens bours: while we were dying another kite acres him. You don't often hear of pluck like that."
When a man was hauled up in the ordinary way he would sit with his legs round the cook until he had and the palley properly fast Then he would haul up four planke and build a foothold.
·
THE NEW PLAN. With laddem, which is the plan adopted nowadays, ascent is far creier :-
"I can get to the top of a big shoft in threo. or four hours, taking it pretty quietly too. The ladder there, which locks like one pieco, is really built up cf short lengths, each 15ft. high, They fit together like the Earrel of a telescope; that is to say, the foot of ono ladder its inte. 200kate on the top of the ladder below. When I come to a chimney that I must climb, I taka oua of these short laddere, and rear it straight against the side, buat about a foot from the shaft. My next implement is a big iron hook which has sharp spike and is to bg" driven easily into a brick of the obimney. The loop of this book goes round one of the runga of the ladder, and when the spike is drivea home the whole thing is na firm as a rock. Is. this way I got my first ladder ups and hon I've had it, I run ap carrying a second ladder in my hand. The onds of this fit into the sockets at the top of ladder No: 1. A socom stople driven into the brickwork abant the middle rung of the hdder fixes it just like the first is fixed; and after that it's just the same right away up to the top."
The great difculty is the projecting cornice, usually to be found near the top of shafts. When that is surmountað all ja cuay,
ON THE TOP OF A SWAYING SHAFT.
The top of a chimney is much worse to stand upon thain that of a steeple:
For one thing, your lodge on which you staus is not.mtos more than two feet wide, and you've got a drop on both sides of you. Thero's a good den of heat, likely quough, coming up the dus of the shaft, and, added to that, the whele chimney rocks and away when over the wind is high in a way that would turn you sick. I'va-known a tall shaft to swing nearly a foot either way in agale. That doesn't sound much, bat jou stand up there while the game is going on, and I'll bet my life you my your prayers if yen nover said them before."
On the top of a church glasple there is much move to entah hold of than ou à shaft.
