The legs of the towers were driven firmly
into the bank, making them so solid that he thought it would be perfectly
safe to build the frames out over the brook without building them at the
same time on the shore side. But he had made a miscalculation, for when a
couple of the boys had crawled out on the B and C frames to set up an E
frame the structure commenced to sag. The trouble was remedied by propping
up the tower with a stout stick driven into the river bottom and wedged
under the upper tie piece of the tower. The towers were really too short
to make a well proportioned bridge, for the panels had to be made very
long and narrow, so as to reach across. But on the whole it was a very
creditable structure when completed, though it had only half as long a
span as our cantilever bridge over the lagoon.
