over the places where the steam comes out; and when the kerfs 
are right over | the places where he put the red-hot stones, he | takes 
the eel-gfass and throws it on top of the | board at which he is 
working, right over the kerfs, in this way;* and when it is | piled 
on thickly, he takes his bailer, fills it with || water, lifts up one 
end of the board, and | pours on the water into the three holes 
where the | box-maker is steaming the board. After he has poured 
on | the water, he puts down the board so that it hes on the | 
steam. He takes his tongs, picks up red-hot || stones, and places 
them on top of the eel-grass | which he put on last along 
the three kerfs; and | when he has put the red-hot stones close 
together, he takes eel-grass | and throws it on top. Then he puts 
down his tongs, | takes his bailer, fills it with water, and pours it 
along || the three rows of red-hot stones which are covered with | eel- 
grass. After finishing this, he takes more eel-grass | and throws it 
over the red-hot stones as the steam is coming out. | Then he takes 
his straight knife and | splits cedar-wood into thin pieces. He 
shaves them off || so that they are sharp, and measures them so that 
they are four finger-widths | long; then he cuts them off. When | 
he has made many of these, he stops. These will be the pegs for the |
