The next day two or three of the strongest made signs that they would like to go and look at their canoe; but the others seemed content to remain where they were--indeed, many of them could not have moved even had they wished it.  Jerry and I accompanied our new friends to the canoe.  They seemed satisfied when they saw that she was safe; and having procured a few articles from her, and among them several cooking utensils, they returned with us to the settlement.  They made signs, as they examined the canoe, that she would require much repair before she was again fit to put to sea.  She was, to our eyes, a wonderful structure.  There was not a nail in her; all her planks were sewed together, and secured in the same way to the ribs.  This made her very strong and elastic, and accounted for her being able to endure the rough seas to which she must have been exposed.
