Phineas’s special skill is blasting. His task is to blast the solid rock into pieces small enough for his crew to dig loose with hand tools and haul away in ox carts. His assistant “charges” a hole by filling the bottom with coarse-grained gunpowder. Phineas uses the narrow end of his iron to carefully press the ropelike fuse down into the powder. The assistant then fills up the rest of the hole with loose sand to act as a plug. Phineas and his assistant have done this a thousand times—pour the powder, set the fuse, pour the sand, tamp the sand plug, shout a warning, light the fuse, and run like mad. (Phineas Gage... Chapter 1)
