I began this voyage on November 14, 2009, at four o'clock in the morning. The wind was very favourable; however, I made use at first only of my paddles; but considering I should soon be weary, and that the wind might chop about, I set up my little sail; and thus, with the help of the tide, I went at the rate of a league an hour. My friends continued on the shore till I was almost out of sight; and I often heard them crying out, “HNUY ILLA NYHA, MAJAH YAHOO;” “Take care of thyself, gentle YAHOO.”
