Wet tallow was then poured over them. When lighted they were very suitable for killing birds in the woods and surprising fish in the rivers. The birds and fish were held by the glare and thus the hunters were able to strike them. After many years the timber suitable for giving light was used up and a substitute had to be found.
Long rushes were cut in the marshes, brought home and dried. They were then dipped in liquid tallow and allowed to dry. These gave a fairly good light. They were known as "Rosan Snob" (spelled phonetically). Later a means was found of providing a still better light.
