The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Riverman by Stewart Edward White: the river on three hundred easy enough. That saves wages and grub
on two hundred right there. And, of course, a few improvements on
the river would save time, which in our case would mean money. We
would not need so many separate cook outfits and all that. Of
course, that part of it we'd have to get right down and figure on,
and it will take time. Then, too, if we agreed to sort and deliver,
we'd have to build sorting booms down at Monrovia."
"Suppose we had all that. What, for example, do you reckon you
could bring Daly's logs down for?"
Orde fell into deep thought, from which he emerged occasionally to
scribble on the back of his memoranda.
