Both have been cleaning in Kilburn Mill for 2 years, in #1 spinning room. Both from "the Islands" a few years ago. Antone is very illiterate, spoke almost no English, could hardly write his name. I asked the tallest boy how Antone could be in the mill. He said they lie about their ages. If I came from the Islands, I could fool them about my age too and go in the mill.
