pebble. | 
When she comes to the place where she put her cedar-bark, she takes

with her left hand, for the woman is sitting on the | right-hand side 
of the yellow cedar-bark, facing towards the sea. | She does not pull 
very fast when she is pulling it out of the water, and puts it over | the 
flat diabase stone on which she beats it. | She first beats the broad

home; and whenshe arrives | there, she carries the beaten yellow 
cedar-bark to a place outside of the house and hangs it up | on the 
halibut drying-poles. When evening comes, | she gathers the beaten 
35 cedar-bark and spreads a new mat over it, || so that it may not get
