I might have been proud of my raft-making skill; had not my ark been well built it would soon have gone to pieces. Before long my fears were with reason increased. Before me rose a line of black rocks. There seemed scarcely room for the raft to pass between them. I could no longer keep my feet. I sat down, holding my pole. The raft was driving directly down upon a rock. It swerved a little.
Fortified by Daniel's delicacy, we set to work early next morning at raft-making and ice-cutting; but we made the attempt to cross at a portion of the river where the open water was narrower and the bordering ice sounded more firm to the testing blows of the axe. One part of the river had now closed in, but the ice over it was unsafe.
On Calypso's isle Calypso gives to Odysseus a bronze axe for his raft-making. The poet is perfectly consistent. There are also examples both of bronze axes and, apparently, of bronze knives. Thus, though the woodcutter's or carpenter's axe is of bronze in two passages cited, iron is the usual material of the axe or adze. In commenting upon this Mr. Leaf is scarcely at the proper point of view.
If you are in a damp climate, or on shipboard, keep them in a tin box, tightly closed. =Boats Safe and Unsafe. Canoeing. Rowing. Poling. Raft-Making. Swimming. Fishing= =Safe and Unsafe Boats= One seldom goes on the long trail, or into camp, without encountering water, and boats of some kind must be used, generally rowboats or canoes.
