After ferrying Nat and Grull over to the far side of the river, Jacoby and Blue entered the canoe, allowing it to drift southward. The boat looked like a floating barge of marsh flotsam, thanks to the camouflaged sides of the craft with mud, eel grass and cattails applied by the elf and Nathaniel. Jacoby and Blue also heaped scurvy grass over their shoulders and mud to their faces, adding to the ruse. The sun was rising to mid-day, the heat beat down from above like an oppressive weight, causing sweat to form in pools on their necks and backs. When they got within a mile, they paddled to the shore for a final review of the plan.
