But the baby is not always kept down on the cradle-board. Sometimes among
the Sacs and Foxes he is slung in a little hammock, which is quickly and
easily made. Two cords are stretched side by side from tree to tree. A
blanket is then folded until its width is little more than the length of
the baby; its ends are then folded around the cords and made to overlap
midway between them. After the cords are up, a half a minute is more than
time enough to make a hammock out of a blanket. And a more comfortable
little pouch for a baby could not be found.
