The colonists worked with a will, and the two dams which besides did not exceed eight feet in width by three in height, were rapidly erected by means of well-cemented blocks of stone.
Ciro Smith animó a los colonos para este trabajo y en breve se levantaron los dos diques, que superaban de siete a ocho pies de anchura por tres de altura, y que fueron construidos con trozos de roca bien cimentados.
