| Summary: | vapour We discovered also in this village the remains of a vapour-bath. The method used by Beothuks to raise the steam, was by pouring water on large stones made very hot for the purpose, in the open air, by burning a quantity of wood around them; after this process, the ashes were removed, and a hemispherical framework, closely covered with skins, to exclude the external air, was fixed over the stones.
