I know I am new to LOTM, but every time I watch it, (which is all the time now), I still can't figure out the canoes when the group is being chased by the Hurons on the river. When they go over those little falls, both Hawkeye and Duncan pull some type of string from the tip of the canoe. Is that the way canoes are, or were they just making sure they didn't fall over? I apologize to all the LOTM veterans, your knowledge of the movie amazes me.
