The story goes that each team member was observed to break a piece of wood off the edge of the logs and let it sink out of sight. I am remembering a story from many years ago, but if my memory serves me correctly whoever wrote the story wondered if the water would completely fill the log before they got to land.
Other than that I am not sure why it was observed reported but did not concern them that much.
