has been marked out. | As soon as the board that he splits out turns 
over, he does the | same as he did before; and when he has enough, | 
he carries the boards that he has split off and puts them down flat 
outside of his house. || Then he takes his hand-adz and adzes them 
all over. After he | has done so, he turns them over and adzes the 
other side, | adzing it all over nicely. After this has been done, he 
puts the board on edge and | adzes off the edges so that they are 
straight. When | this has been done, he puts it down flat. He 
takes a cedar-stick and splits it in two so | that it is the thickness 
of our little finger. He cuts off one end | square, and from this point 
he measures off | three spans. Then he cuts it off. Now the cedar- 
stick is | three spans long. | This he lays on the || other end of the 
box out of which he is making an oil-box. He marks as far as | 
its end in this way: After doing so, | he takes off the 
cedar-stick measure meee and puts it down at the | other 
end of the oil-box that he is making, and he does the 
same|with the straight-edge as he did before: he marks its end; and, || 
after doing so, he takes a straight-edged cedar-board, | puts it down 
lengthwise, on the oil-box that he is making, | flush with the 
straight line that runs from one mark to the other on | each end of 
the oil-box that he is making, and he marks along it | the whole 
length. After this has been done, he puts it on edge, takes his || hand-
