O.fie. Making, O.g.1 Aca^nd. ta M^£ngllien UUak MmiAc^d 
There is oak of three kinds,—white, red, and black. The white is excellent 
to make canoes of,—shallops, ships, and other vessels lor the sea, and for claw- 
boards and pipestaves. The black is good to make Waspscott of:-—and of the white 
oak acorn (which is the acorn birds would like to feed upon) the natives draw an 
oyl: taking the rottenest maplewood which, being burnt to ashes, they make a 
strong lye therewith, wherein they boyl their white oak acorns until the oyl swim 
on the top in great quantity. This they fleet off and put into bladders, to anoint 
their naked limbs; which corroborates them exceedingly. They eat it likewise with 
their meat. It is an excellent clear and sweet oyl.
