In addition , there were two of the plantation boat 's - crews of six men each . These , however , were to go no farther than Carli , where water transportation ceased and where they were to wait with the boats . Boucher remained behind in charge of Berande . By eleven in the morning the expedition arrived at Binu , a cluster of twenty houses on the river bank . And from here thirty odd Binu men accompanied them , armed with spears and arrows , chattering and grimacing with delight at the warlike array . The long quiet stretches of river gave way to swifter water , and progress was slower and more dogged . The Balesuna grew shallow as well , and oftener were the loaded boats bumped along and half-lifted over the bottom .
