| Very frequently
may be seen perched high up on the bank native boats in course of
construction
or repair. . . . It is worth while watching the boat-builder at work,
and
one can only wonder that so much beauty of line and proportion can be
got
out of the scraps of wood and twisted timbers of which they are built.

Egypt Painted and Described, 1902 |
