They simply consist of a semi-cylinder, hollowed out of a tree stem, with the ends filled up with mud and grass. These canoes are called blotto or ballotto by the natives. […] They are of every size, from the child's blotto of ten or fifteen feet in length to the fisherman's craft of fifty."

In the rainy season the current is strong. Rumuru is the junction of many paths from the interior, along which forest produce is conveyed and then shipped in "blottos.""
