This he moved slowly across the line of the stream, holding the piece of wire in his fingers, with the top swinging freely. At the dead centre above the water the top began a rotary motion and executed circles in a very vigorous fashion. Much greater energy seemed to be given the top by catching the right wrist with the left during the above process.
