cordwood

It was November, and the lodge was cold and drafty, so all four of us slept that first night stacked like cordwood in a single musty bed.

But, while the American Civil War raged, and the invisible “Third Army” of viruses and bacteria stacked the bodies like cordwood for both sides, Louis Pasteur was also figuring out how to stop it.

Coal rates, of course, are partly determined by rates on cordwood, and vice versa.

A carload of lumber or cordwood might easily by prearrangement be filled inside with high grade package freight.

And there were also what corresponded to modern commodity rates upon cordwood, lumber, bricks, and similar goods.

There was a pile of cordwood near the garage, and Harris ran and got a heavy, four-foot section of elm.

With that end in view, we carried that stick of cordwood around in front and smashed in the front door.
