He was dressed for burial in the same suit in which he was married.
Newall's canoe, on which the body was laid, was draped along the sides with evergreens.

Spruce boughs were laid athwart the canoe forming a bed for the body of the departed hero.

On his breast were placed his bow and arrow, also his moccasins.

The widowed squaw said the canoe would help his soul to cross rivers and lakes on the way to the happy hunting grounds, the arrow would bring down game and the moccasins protect his feet.

When all preparations were completed Newall had arrived back with another canoe.
