1 Care of Canoe.—I forgot this when I was talking about | the canoe- 
builder, who spreads open the canoe, making a small canoe. When 
he | pours water into it, and the stones are nearly red-hot, | he 
5 pours four buckets of water, || and there is one bucket of urme which 
he | pours into the canoe, and he carries four more buckets of water, | 
pours them into it, and he also carries one bucket of urine | and 
pours it into the water in the | small canoe. Then eight buckets of 
10 water || have been poured into the small canoe, and two buckets 
of urine,| so that it may not be split by the heat of the sun after the 
canoe-builder shall have finished it. | That is the reason why they 
put urine into it. As soon as enough | water and urine are put into 
it, he puts red-hot stones into the canoe. | When the canoe-builder 
15 finishes this, || he takes a rush mat and a dish or a small steaming- 
box| and perch-oil (that is the oil obtained from | perch-liver). He 
places the steaming-box by the side of the fire of his house, and | he 
takes the rush mat and puts it into the fire. | As soon as it burns, he 
20 places it on the side of the steaming-box, so that || the charcoal falls 
into the box. When he thinks he has enough, | he takes his hammer
