Kennedy, Edmund Besley Court, 1818-1848; Stanley, Owen; Rattlesnake (Ship); Natural history. DESCEIPTION OF HUTS. 226 islands to the westward are overrun. To the stout uprig-hts are lashed transverse bars supporting three long parallel timbers running the whole length of the floor; on these seven or eight transverse poles are laid^ crossed by about a dozen longitudinal and slighter ones, on which a flooring of long strips of the outer wood of the cocoa-nut tree is laid across. After penetrating the floor, the main posts rise five feet higher, where they are connected at top by others as tie-beams, which cross them, and project a little further to sustain the two lateral of the five longitudinal supports of the roof, which, at the gable ends, are further secured by other tie-beams. On the two central cross-bars also is laid a platform running one half the length of the hut, floored on one side, forming a partial upper. VOL. I Digitized by Microsoft®.
