the Leedegee, or steersman, stood, and a vacant space of ;seven n r eight
feet, where a kettle might be boiled, or dinner provided. Gn each side of
thé cahin.a small door opened oh the platform, and there were three
windows which, when raised, admitted a free circulation of air. The roof
was made of bamboos, covered with mats, and over all was extended a
painted canvass that effectually secured us from theheaviest rain. The inside
was neatly lined with matting. The conveyances of the other gentlemen
were nearly of the same size and construction. Twenty-six boat-
men composed the crew of my vessel, exclusive of the Leedegee, who is the
chief or captain.
