The German also exhibited his strength in 

 twisting into a screw a flat piece of iron like A, 

 Fig. 59. He first bent the iron into a right angle

 left hand, and with his right applied to the other 

 end, twisted about the angular point, as shown at 

 C. Lord Tullibardine succeeded in doing the 

 same thing, and even untwisted one of the irons 

 which the German had twisted.
