51 finished, it is this way: Then he | puts it down. Then 
he takes the other one and puts it down by the side of the one that | 
he has finished, and he marks it according to the first one, so 
that the hole that he is to make will be in the corresponding place; | 
and after he has marked it, he cuts the holes through it; and when 
these are | finished, he takes a square piece of the size of our little 
55 finger || and two spans and two finger-widths in length, | which is 
called ‘“‘crosspiece for tymg on.’’ He measures one | finger-width 
from the end of it. Then | he takes his straight knife and cuts a 
notch around it. He cuts off | a little all round, so that it fits into 
60 the hole of the side-stick. He || pushes it through the hole that he has 
cut; and when he has cut off enough | so that it fits in tight for the 
end to pass through, | he only stops pushing it in when | it fits tightly 
against the shoulder of the notch, | he does the same with the other end 
of the | crosspiece as he did to the former end. After | doing so, he 
65 continues the same with the others; and || when all of them have been 
finished, it is in this way: After this has been done, | 
he takes cedar-bark and +[2[ 3s | 4 [5] 6 | soaks itin water. After 
doing so, | he takes the thin pieces of cedar-wood 
half as | thick as our little finger and one finger-width | in width. These 
70 are to be the middle sticks. When he has || put them all down at the 
place where he is sitting making the drying-frame, after | they have 
all been brought there, he takes the soaked cedar-bark and puts it
