And Jack sums up that Job of his very neatly in two sentences. "My duties, says he, were to supply tour or five riveting gangs with rivets and with coal for their forges. The duties of the riveting gangs were to supply skyscrapers tor New York city. But it wasn't that easy. Structural iron work is one of the hardest trades in the world to break in on. Youve got to get accustomed to walking like a cat along narrow steel girders only a few inches wide and hundreds of feet above the ground. The only way to do that is to get up there and walk those girders. There are no schools that teach a man to keep his head in a tight or dangerous spot You cant acquire a steeplejacks courage out of a book, or learn it in some safe place on the ground. "la the ironworkers trade," Jack says, "you have to develop those Iron nerves you bear shout Even the bravest man is nervous at first walking along those narrow beams with arms and back loaded, and not even n semblance of a hand or foot grip to catch hold of If you lose yonr balance. Sly debut in the business was on s building that was an extra hazardous Job because there was a double shift of ironworkers and that created a lot of The ironworkers ran np a framework of steel that was far In advance eight stories at least at all times, of the concrete floorlayers who worked below." Jack was on the night shift, but somehow he couldn't feel that ha was one of the gang. It wasn't that he was afraid. It wasnt that ha didnt do his work. But somehow or other the veterans on the Job made him feel like an outsider. To them he was just another rookie. They werent unfriendly to him but they werent friendly either.

The raising gang was having trouble holding onto the great iron beams they were lifting, and the riveters were dropping red hot rivets right and left. A couple of beams had been allowed to fall and a couple of men had had narrow squeaks. "A 4 by 12 beam mined me by Inches," says Jack, "and with the deafening chatter at innumerable riveting guns, the clang of beams against beams and the banging of hammers on steel, the scene was skin to pandemonium. It was no place for a man with a ease of nervea, and I still had some, although a few weeks of work and a few narrow escapes had hardened my nervous system considerably. It seemed to me that the quietest of the lot were my fellow apprentices, the rivet jacks." Jack was just a little bit nervous as he went about his work. To get coal for the riveters forges he had to climb down through eight stories of open steel work. He was on his way back to the top with bag of coal on his shoulder, and as he struggled up the ladder with his load he who had rigged up a makebegan envying a couple other rivet-jacshift hoist and were hauling their coal up by means of ropes. 0 see When Washing Silk Stockings.

He went right on doing his work and then came a night when everything went haywire I It was the night after payday and the men on the job, with hardly an exception, had been celebrating their fat pay envelopes. A lot of that tuff out of the little brown Jug had been imbibed and those boys were Tavotits Xecijae At that moment Jack reached the beams of the third story below the top, and stood waiting while two other ironworkers climbed up the next ladder. Another ironworker was following him up the ladder he had Just left and Jack watched him coming for a moment, and then turned his attention back to the rivet jacks who were hoisting bags of coal. He had just turned his gaze in that direction when he saw the bag of coal lip its noose and come hurtling toward him I Jack was right under that descending bag. He dropped to a sitting position and wrapped his legs around the beam. He knew he was going to be hit, but with luck, he might keep his hold. Gripping the beam ha waited. Then CRASH! The bag hit him on the shoulder, tore off his shirt sleeve, and ripped a big patch of skin from his right arm I He was numbed bewildered. But his eye took In everything that happened. At that moment the ironworker who had followed him up the ladder had almost reached the top. His head was about even with Jacks waist. And the bag of coal, glancing off Jack's shoulder, hit the other fellow square on the head! Like a flash, Jack swung out and caught him with his injured arm. And none too soon either. That fellow was out cold. His eyes were closed and he had let go his hold on the ladder. He was a dead weight, and Jack, hanging from the beam by one leg, now, was holding him with the fingertips of a numb and bleeding arm.
