Entry 4410
[Instead of the hole and peg into a tree, sometimes a splinter makes the hole and serves as a peg.] Dere two ways yuh kin lock dey bowels up. One way tuh lock a person's bowels, yuh kin take a sharp splintah. Jis' take yuh knife an' jis' sharpen up a splin- tah, see. Yuh kin git a little bit of de stuff yuh know on dat splintah. (The bowels?) Dat's right. An' take it down in de woods tuh some tree or 'nothah an' yuh take an' yuh drive 'em in dere. Co'se yuh got'a take an' bo' yuh a hole in dere. Drive it in dere den. When yuh drive it in dere, why yuh done lock 'em. [The second method, not given here, may be elsewhere in the text.]
