    "It was necessary for us to larn a few lessons so here we began to study. first we were taught how to bridle a boat. this is done by tieing a rope around the nose of the boat about one third the way aft. then we learned how to make what they call portages -- that is -- when you come to falls or rapids, relieve the boat of all contents and carry contents and boat around the rapids."
