| Summary: | spudgel n While on the subject of piggins I may as well mention the spudgel. It is made of wood, /shaped like a bucket, and has a long handle which goes through the bucket slantwise, or, as a fisherman would say, "scow ways " At Blanc Sablon the spudgel was used to dip water from over the side of the wharf in order to wash down the troughs and wharf. In lots of places the spudgel is used mainly to dip fresh water from deep wells. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G.M.
