The natives, in the meanwhile, resting on their spears, watched us withearnest attention. One of them, who was sitting close to the water, atlength called to us, and we immediately recognised the deep voice ofhim to whose singular interference we were indebted for our escape onthe 23rd of January. I desired Hopkinson to swim over to him, and toexplain that we wanted assistance. This was given without hesitation;and we at length got under the lea of the rock, which I have alreadydescribed as bei...ng in the centre of the river. The natives launchedtheir bark canoes, the only frail means they possess of crossing therivers with their children. These canoes are of the simplestconstruction and rudest materials, being formed of an oblong piece ofbark, the ends of which are stuffed with clay, so as to render themimpervious to the water. With several of these they now paddled roundus with the greatest care, making their spears, about ten feet inlength, (which they use at once as poles and paddles, ) bend nearlydouble in the water.
