CHAPTER XXIII 

THE CLAMP 

Wen wok start di next mornin, Jake ask Dick if e go order di peons make dem search for di clamps wey hold di guard-rail. 

"I think not," talk Dick. "E go beta if you find di tins yourself." 

"Alright. Maybe you dey right." 

Dick dey wonder how much Jake dey suspect, especially as e no dey look for anything wen e dey move up and down among di broken concrete. Half an hour later, wen none of di peons dey immediately around, e come up with e hand for e pocket and show one corner beside one block wey get small shade and dem no go fit see dem. 

"I don get one," e talk.

Wen dem sit down Jake bring out one piece of thick iron wey dey about six inches long, forged into something wey resemble di shape of U, even though di curve dey different and one arm dey shorter pass di other. Much dey depend on di curve, because di thing dey made on di model of one old-fashioned but efficient clamp wey carpenters sometimes dey use for fastening work to bench. One blow or pressure on one part go wedge am fast, but one sharp tap on di other go make dem fit lift am off. Dis one dey convenient, because as di work dey progress, di track along di dam gats to dey lengthened and di guard fixed across one fresh pair of rails. 

Taking di object from Jake, Dick check am well well. E think say e recognize di dent wey e don strike di iron, and then, turning am over, e notice another mark. Dis one don dey make recently, because di surface of di iron dey shine where di hammer don fall, and one blow there go loosen di clamp. E look Jake, wey nod.
