to make a hook of a small hemlock-branch of | the size of our first-

thickness of the pole. It is in this way: WI After | this is 
done, she does the same thing with the piece that is to form the hook; 
and when | the notch is also cut in one-half the thickness of the piece 
thatis to form the hook, | she takes split spruce-root, puts it into water, || 
and soaks it. Afterit has been soaked, she takes the piece that is to 
be the hook at the end | and puts the two notches together. She | takes
