push up the | board sail and shift it towards the bow, so that it lies

is of this size. | 
1 Mat Sail and Mast.—A woven mat was the sail of | small canoes. 
It was made of the middle part of cedar-bark, for the | weaving is 
5 made of narrow strips. Its length is one fathom | and two spans, || and 
its width is one fathom. There are four holes in one edge, | by means 
of which it is strapped to the mast, in this way: | and there is 
one hole in each corner to put the sprit into the top corner; | 
and the hole in the lower corner is for the lower end of the 
10 sheet | to pass through. Whenit is finished, the man peels |i 
a young cedar-tree, which is to be the mast for the mat 
sail. | He passes twisted cedar-bark rope through the four holes 
in the side of the sail, | and puts it around the mast to hold 
the sail. He uses a small | young cedar-tree for the sprit, and he 
uses | twisted cedar-bark rope and puts it around the mast below 
15 the || middle to hold the lower end of the sprit. | Finally he takes well- 
made, twisted, thin cedar-bark rope, | sometimes five fathoms in
