all off, he takes some more soft cedar-bark, dips it into the charcoal || 
20 mixture, and rubs it over the edge of the box that he is making; then 
he puts | on the bottom board; and when the black charcoal is no 
longer in patches, | he takes his drill and drills | slantingly through 
(the side and the bottom). When he gets through, he pulls out his 
drill, | takes one of the pegs, wets it in his mouth with his saliva, 
25 and, || when it is wet all over, he puts it into the drill-hole. | He takes 
his stone hammer and drives it in. When it is all in, | he stops 
hammering. He takes his drill and drills another hole | three finger- 
widths away from the first one; | and when that also passes through, 
30 he wets another peg in his mouth || with his saliva. Then he pulls 
out his drill, | changes, and puts the peg in its place in the drill-hole. 
Then he takes the | stone and drives in the peg, as he did before. 
He | continues doing this, going around drilling and putting in pegs; 
and | whenhe has pegged all round the bottom, the oil-box is 
35 finished; || for the time when he makes the box is when the | winter 
is over and just before the olachen run in Knight Inlet. | Oil has to be 
put in the oil-box first, in order to make it tight | by filling the 
pegged edge of the bottom with oil. When | the time for picking 
40 viburnum berries comes, the oil box is empty. || Then the berries are 
put in; and now the juice of the viburnum berries will not run out, | 
although they leave it in the box for a whole winter. | That is all.
