The onagers, who had two pretty colts, were most often mounted by Gideon Spilett and Herbert, who had become an excellent rider under the reporter's instruction, and they also harnessed them to the cart either for carrying wood and coal to Granite House, or different mineral productions required by the engineer.
Les onaggas, qui avaient donné deux jolies bêtes, étaient le plus souvent montés par Gédéon Spilett et Harbert, devenu un excellent cavalier sous la direction du reporter, et on les attelait aussi au chariot, soit pour transporter à Granite-House le bois et la houille, soit les divers produits minéraux que l'ingénieur employait.
