The fleet sailed downstream, arriving at a dock on the south bank of the Kupa River by midday.
The sailors docked the ships and assisted the tribesmen stationed at the dock in unloading baskets of iron ore from the ships onto the carriages outside. By the time these tasks were completed, it was already dusk, and everyone rested and ate at the dock.
The next day, the sailors navigated the fleet back to the ore dock, while Karsipengpas led the caravan south along the dirt road specifically built for transporting iron ore. It took two full days to reach the north bank of the Murenica River.
Here was another riverbank dock constructed for the iron ore transport, where people once again labored to move baskets of ore onto the cargo ships.
After a full night of rest, everyone boarded the ships refreshed in the morning and set off.
With the fleet sailing downstream, it didn't take long to pass by the village where the Budocaribas tribe once lived.
