: : Hi Jess,
: :   I believe you are correct on this one.  I noticed the characters were switched in the canoe, many times as I watched it!  It is rather confusing to us, but I believe they actually switched!!!

: Hi, Ann & Jess!

: Watch the scene again closely.  You will see Hawkeye yell "Faster!" at the 2nd canoe.  It is lagging way behind, as it only has 2 people in it.  (Duncan and one of those other blamed Yengeese!  hehe)  Uncas jumps overboard & gets in the other canoe to help out.  That blamed Yengeese who is in the back of the other canoe moves to the center & Uncas takes his place, thus accomplishing two things...1)it lightens the rather crowded Canoe #1 and 2) gives canoe #2 an experienced paddler to add some speed.  

: Of course, as Soldier #2 told us some time back, it was a tricky scene to film, and consequently it looks a bit confusing there.  I think Uncas (Eric) never got the leap quite right, and they ended up transferring him into Canoe #2 in another fashion.  But for the movie's purpose, we are supposed to think he swam to the other canoe & climbed in. And as I said, if you watch closely, you definitely see him dive out of Canoe #1, and then the camera cuts to him shaking the water out of his hair & taking up the paddle in Canoe #2. 

: Does that clear it up any?  Hope so!
