: When the party is in the canoes, escaping the massacre, right after Hawkeye yells "head for the river!", Uncas goes overboard and gets into the other canoe, with Major Heyward and another British soldier. Exactly why does he do this? Because the canoe he's in is carrying too many? Or because he sees that they need help over there?? What? I've never been able to figure this out.

Maybe he wants to join the English military??? Just kidding. Maybe he felt he could paddle a lot better than they could. After all, they probably didn't travel by canoe too much.
