Jewelers, Limited Established 1840, hing Street, Kingston § | mm------ in ----. | | Chapter 16--The First Boat. | When people of the Stone Aga | wanted to get from one side of a | deep river to the other, what did | they do? There were no boats at { first, so tho only thing to do was to | swim across--or else not get across | at all. | This problem of rivers must have | been a big one in the Stone Age. | Familias were in the habit of mov- ing frequently. They moved in or- der to find new forests in which the | men could hunt. They usually spent { their winters in coves, but in sum- mer they roamed far and wide--it was move, move, move. When a group of people came to a shallow stream, the grownups could wade across, carrying the babfes and small children in their arms. When the river was deep, the men and wo- men had to swim across--probably carrying the children on their backs' | People must often have been drown- | ed when the current was very strong, or when the river was very wide. i Happily, people learned a safer | way to get aoross rivers. They learn- | ed to use boats. | The earliest boats were crude af- fairs--just logs. The idea must have come to a man | who liked to think about a time | when things would be easier and | happier. Such a man may have seen | a tree floating down the river. A | fierce storm had blown it into the | water. | "Oh," this man may have said to | himself, "how grand would it be it | I could go on water like that tree!' | He followed along the bank for a | distance. Then a big idea came to { him. { Into the water he sprang, and was | soon at the sidg of the tree. He | grasped one of the limbs, and held jon. Down the river he floated with the tree!
