| The support platoon was organised for defence in caber by Lieut. Field, who remained with his men though seriously wounded. |
| So dedicated was he that a caber was brought to town giving the Games authenticity. |
| The caber is the heavy trunk of a tree from 16 to 20 ft. long. |
| As a form of exercise, cutting corn combines most of the motions of wrestling, skipping the rope, and tossing the caber. |
| I could see a log flip upwards, tumbling end over end to hit the ground and cartwheel to a standstill like a caber. |
| Among other 'strong-men' contests, which have long been favourite sports in Scotland, are tossing the caber and putting the stone. |
