About
Keeps the lift station where the district channel comes into the holdings — a low block with a hood over the intake and a motor house behind it.: Loses two fingers of his right hand going into the guard on the drive with the machine still turning, having done it four hundred times before without it mattering. Puts the machine off himself and sits against the wall of the motor house for the better part of an hour with a rag round it before anybody comes.
