    "This person used a single hand-spike, holding up the upper end and sallying back. When the log rolled back it caused the hand-spike to spring forward, and, before he had time to relinquish his grasp, it flung him head-long forward, like an arrow from the hunter's bow, down the embankment into the water; when recovered, he was dead."
