eight inches, holding them thus steady a moment and estimating the 
thus indicated measure with the eyes—eight inches thick. 
(62) Then struck the palm of left with the back of arched right for- 
cibly—solid ice. 
(63) Laid the joined and extended first two fingers, palm up, across 
side of leg, a foot above heel, accompanying the movement with the 
eye—one foot deep. 
(64) Pushed downward perpendicularly and from same point the flat, 
extended hand—sinking, or giving in—and turning the hand upward at 
wrist, back downward, he flirted up the fingers several times quickly —- 
water—slush and water. 
(65) Passed one hand over the other as in the act of pulling off 
mittens—mittens. 
(66) Made the motion of wringing out a wet piece of cloth—wringing 
wet. 
(67) Grasped a fold of his trowsers (below the knee) and wrung it— 
trowsers also wet. 
(68) Placed palms of both hands upon legs, near to the ankles, and 
dragged them up to the knees—up to the knees. 
(69) Shivered—feeling cold. 
(70) Pointed with thumb backward and toward the right (designating 
his companion) and repeated No. 2 (hair gray)—my old companion, 1. e., 
Ga-bi-wa-bi-ko-ke. 
(71) Repeated No. 69 (feeling cold) more emphatically—more so, 1. e., 
suffering worse from the cold. 
(72) Repeated No. 59 (cutting, the ice). 
(73) Made sign for tired—getting tired, as follows: The left arm is 
partly extended forward, and is gently struck near the bend of the 
elbow, usually above it, with the palm of the right hand, at the same time 
the head is usually inclined to the left side, then in similar manner the 
right arm is extended and struck by the left hand, and the head in turn 
inclined to the right. 
(74) Repeated No. 35—(hatchet). 
(75) Turned the slightly closed left (thumb obliquely upward) over 
to its side, partially opening it in so doing, fingers pointing to left— 
passing it over to his companion at the left, i. e., Sabadis. 
(76) Flung forefingers of both hands, backs forward, thumbs upward, 
remaining fingers partially closed, toward their respective sides alter- 
nately—by turns. 
(77) Repeated No. 59 (cutting the ice). 
(78) Elevated the hand above head, thumb and first two fingers ex- 
tended and directed toward the western meridian, and shook it em- 
phatically and with a tremulous motion up and down while thus sus- 
pended—at a late hour. 
(79) Followed with the sign for done, finished, as follows: Left hand, 
with forearm horizontally extended toward the right, is held naturally
