It comes as no surprise that the next deal is for Daniel Widdis with 7
natural points for his obsolete wool toll.
Tied for second place were Millie Morgan with 4 natural points and
Tony Abell with 4 unnatural points.
The real definition was #10, a wooden shoe. Both Johnny Barrs and
Dave Cunningham submitted definitions that were close enough to the
real definition that they were merged therein. So they each earned 2
points along with Webster's 1857.
