It was enormous and the huge crane on the dredge was taxed to its utmost to bring the monster up from the depths. Conservative estimates of people who are good judges of measurement say that the biggest n. ot was IS feet in diameter. The crew was at work near ly all the morning trying to net the stump onto the scow and they consid ered it quite a victory when at last it was reposing on the bosom of the scow It required five or six efforts to land another smaller root, which Itself must have measured frem 8 to 10 feet in diameter.
