A Hard Day’s Work

In the meantime what the settlers first manufactured was a common pottery in which to cook their food. The chief material was clay, to which Gohan added a little lime and quartz. This paste made regular “pipe-clay,” with which they manufactured bowls, cups molded on stones of a proper size, great jars and pots to hold water, etc.

The shape of these objects was clumsy and defective, but after they had been baked in a high temperature, the kitchen of the grotto was provided with a number of utensils, as precious to the settlers as the most beautifully enameled china.
