He had my dogs stompin’ till I plum give out.”

B) The next morning Otis was down by the river at sunrise. As the logs came drifting downstream, he helped the yard sheppard pull his skiff ashore. He was an old friend who was familiar with all the ports up and down the New River. Joshua joined them with Otis’ mule in tow. They began fishing the logs from the river and securing them to the harness to be hauled up to the barn.
