The only resi- dent undisturbed during the noisy 'process was a pigeon nesting on a ledge. Two chicks were~hatehed' just before the scaffolding came down.

When Newfoundland schoon- ers carried cargoes of salt cod to the West Indies, they often came back with holds full of 100-gallon molasses puncheons. In those days the sweet, sticky treacle sold for much jess than sugar and had many uses. "Have a cup of lassy tea" was once a hospitable gesture in an outport home. '"'Lassy buns" were a favorite of the fisherman when he went to the fishing grounds or into the woods in winter. They are a sort of cookie containing gen- erous flavoring of molasses and man-sized shares of pork or fat drippings and are still made in many homes, Both the product and the con- tainer had their uses. The puncheon, when empty, served as a container for soaking. and washing salt cod, as a water| barrel, or even to carry a per- 60n short distances by water if a boat was not immediately available.
