Note 407 — VII
Philip Askell Benton translation
[The usual Budduma canoe is made from reeds, the ‘fole’, a large reed with a triangular stalk and a head like guinea-corn, and the ‘ngalle’, a smaller reed and flat. The canoes have long curved prows like a gondola, only turned backwards. For illustration vid. Tilho, Royal Geographical Society’s Journal for September, 1910, and Tilho, Doc. sc., ii. 335 and 338; cf. Benton, Notes on Some Languages, p. 50. Canoes of the same kind are also made from ‘ambach’ branches. Cf. Tilho, Doc. sc., i. 29.]
