Cedar-Bark Breaker.—The man takes a (bone from the) | nasal 
bone of a whale, and he takes a thin-edged rough sandstone | and a 
small dish, and he pours water into it so that it is | half full. Then 
he puts it down where he is going to work at a cedar-bark breaker. || 
He takes the bone and measures it so that it is | two spans and four 
finger-widths in length. | Then he puts the rough sandstone into the 
water in the | dish, and he saws the bone off so that the end is square. 
He | does the same with the other end. When both ends are square, | 
he rubs the edges so that they are straight; and when the edges are 
straight, | he measures the width of one hand for its width, and | he 
measures with a cedar-stick to find the center, in this manner.’ 
As soon as he finds the center, he marks a line across, and he rubs |[ 
on each side of the line to make a hole through it, which serves as 
a grip. As soon as he has finished | rubbing the hole through 
which serves as a grip, | he rubs along the lower edge so as to 
sharpen it. Now he has finished | the bark-breaker. | 
Bag of Sea-Lion Hide.—As soon as this is done, he takes the | skin 
of a sea-lion which has been dried. He spreads it out, and he || 
measures twospans. Then he puts a | straight-edge of cedar-wood on 
it and marks along the edge, so that it may bestraight. Then he|cuts 
along, following the line; and he also lays the straight-edge of cedar-
