Friday wished to burn the hollow or cavity of this tree out, to make it for a boat, but I showed him how to cut it with tools; which, after I had showed him how to use, he did very handily; and in about a month’s hard labour we finished it and made it very handsome; especially when, with our axes, which I showed him how to handle, we cut and hewed the outside into the true shape of a boat.
Péntek azt javasolta, égessünk üreget a törzsbe, de én megmutattam neki, hogyan kell szerszámokkal kivájni a fa belsejét. Gyorsan elsajátította a szükséges mozdulatokat.
