They do not make up their mortar as we do with Oxen but with a spade, and make it in large piles and cover it with planks a day before they use it, the hole is near a branch and they always have a good deal of water in it. they have the table near the place, that they lay down the bricks and move it as they lay them down, and the mud is rolled to it.
