The people waiting back on the other side to cross would use the pulley to get the raft to them for the next person(s) . Think of it as a clothes line, pretty much the same concept. Yes, no?

Interesting idea... I guess we can decide once we get to that point how we will cross. I was thinking about finding an abandoned barge that was clearly old and worn to add a bit of 'stress' to the crossing... but if the whole 'deserted village' experience was stressful enough then it might be overkill. I like your idea though. It's smart and yet simple.
