Ignatio Malheiros was gradually dismembered, while Gyfford had his tongue torn out, was nailed to a log of wood, and sent floating down the river.

He would be three miles out, swimming, with a small log under arm for support, and often he might be in company with thirty or forty of his tribe, who, with only the same slight aids to keeping afloat, would be fishing leisurely.

Then he put up shelves for their rapidly dwindling supplies of provisions and cut chunks of spruce log, with a bit of bark remaining, for fireside seats.

Some rested with this; but the more thrifty would soon replace their cabins with hewn log or frame houses, plant kitchen gardens and watermelon patches, set out orchards and increase the cotton acreage.

Jumping over a log behind the cabin they stopped to listen and finally thinking it a false alarm, laid down their guns, etc., and walked around to the corner of the cabin.

To have seen proud cities rear their heads from a wildernessfrom a cluster of log huts in a primeval forestwhose everlasting stillness was alone broken by the yells of savage men, the long howl of the wolf and the scream of the pantheris something to have lived for.

Papa was overstrained carrying a log and limped as long as he lived.

It was a very nice log house and had a fence to make the front on the road and the back enclosed like.
