in the | bow of the canoe. These were three finger-widths 
apart.! The ends weresewed with cedar-withes. Then||the canoe-builder 
took heavy cedar-withe ropes and small cedar-wood | and measured the 
middle point for the mast-hole. After | he had found the middle, he 
marked off a hole | measuring one finger-width and a half, beginning | 
at the middle mark. He took the same distance || from the middle on 
the other side of the mark. | Three finger-widths is the distance of the | 
marks on each side of the mark in the middle. Then he takes | the 
heavy cedar-withe and ties it around the two bars. | After putting two 
turns into the cedar-withe rope, || he pulls it up between the two bars 
and draws it tight; | and he winds it between the | crossbars and ties
