Text Appearing Before Image:
Chinook canoe. Note overhanging ))row and vertical stern. Seaworthy and outside of the Haida the most extensivelv used into tlie .shallow water and carried their women ashore, then returned to the canoe, flung the dogs into the sea to swim ashore by them- selves and next carried arm loads of small slabs to the women. These slabs the women placed crosswise on the beach and as the men pushed the canoe on to the im- pro\ised skidway, the women gathered up the slabs as fast as the canoe passed o\er them and ran aheafl to repeat the operation. Curiousl\' enough a canoe sometimes has a width greater than the diameter of the cedar tree from which it was dug out. To effect this residt, the dug out canoe is filled with water, then hot stones are added, and after the wood is somewhat softened, the sides of the canoe are pressed outward and fastened in place by means of thwarts which are tied in with spruce or cedar rootlets. When the canoe is nearly finished great care is taken in adzing it down, measures being used to get it to the proper thickness throughout. The surface of the canoe is usually charred, which not only serves to gi\e it a good black color but tends to prevent it from decaying. There is some doubt as to whether sails were used on any of the canoes before the Indians first saw white navigators, l)ut it is certain that they were used before canvas was a commodity in the country, strips of cedar bark being woven together for the purpose as in some of the mats of to-da)'.
Text Appearing After Image:
River canoes owned by Kwakiutl. Semi- circular in cross section, spoon-shaped at the ends. Poled by two men, one in the prow, one in the stern
