ie, ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [BTH. ANN. 35 
with another stick the | width of the empty oil-box. One finger- 
width | on each side is the size of these square pieces of cedar-wood. | 
She makes four pieces of the same size, and all of the same length. || 
After they have been cut off, she takes cedar-bark and | puts it into 
water and leaves it there until it gets soaked. | When she thinks it is 
soaked, she takes it out and splits it | into narrow strips. After 
doing so, she takes | one of the shorter cedar-sticks, one of the pieces 
to which the rack on which || the basket rests is tied when crabapples 
are being boiled, and she takes | one of the flat pieces of cedar and 
places it lengthwise, so that the two are | in this way.t’ Then she 
takes split cedar-bark and ties together | the two ends of the rack 
that she is making. After this has been done, | she takes up one of 
the long cedar-sticks || and puts it down flat on the crosspieces, and 
she ties these together with cedar-bark. | She continues doing this 
from one end of the crosspieces to the other. | When she reaches the 
other end, she takes another one of the shorter | cedar-sticks and 
ties it under the rack. | She measures so that equal distances are 
between the || four cross-sticks. She ties them also with cedar-bark. | 
She does this with all four sticks. After she has | done so, it is in 
this way.’ |
