box that he is making. After this is finished, he takes up the 
well-splitting | cedar-wood and splits it not quite as thick as the | 
little finger. He splits up much of this. When|this is done, he takes 
a long cedar-bark rope and puts it into | the water in order to soak it. 
He dips it up and down, so that it gets | soaked quickly; and when
