Tom is a bad boy and is already in trouble and in urgent need of a disciplinary punishment. The master, first punishes him with a short cane on his bare feet (bastinado) while he is in the wheelbarrow position. After he has striped Tom receives a vigorous caning while he languishes over the master's knees. Next the master continues Tom’s punishment with a leather belting on his bare feet again while he is in the wheelbarrow position. Tom is belted with that same belt on his bare ass again while over the master's knees.
