25 As soon as the woman has enough, she takes up at the broad end 
what she peeled off, | and she breaks off the outer bark | for a distance 
four spans in length. She goes on peeling off the | outer bark 
towards the narrow end, and she continues doing this | until she 
30 reaches the narrow end. When || the outer bark has been taken off, 
she folds it up, and she measures | a length of four spans. Then she 
folds it over. In folding it, she places the outer side outside. | She 
first folds the broad end; | and after she has gone the whole length, 
she ties the narrow end around it; | and she does the same with the 
35 others which she has peeled off. As soon as all || have been tied in 
the middle, she takes a long narrow strip of cedar-bark and | puts it 
around each end, in this way.t. After she has done so, she takes | 
another piece of cedar-bark and puts it on as a packing-strap. The | 
two packing-straps are tied to the two end ropes; and she just 
measures it | until it is long enough when she puts her hands 
40 through them when she puts it through, || carrying it on her back. 
After she has done so, she puts her hands through the | packing- 
straps and carries the bundle on her back. In her hands she carries 
the | adz, and she goes home to her house. |
