Il. HUNTING, FISHING, AND FOOD-GATHERING 
Goat-Hunting.— When the mountain-goat hunter | goes up the moun- 
tain to hunt goats, he searches for thick, long | cedar-withes. Some- 
times these are two fathoms long | and of the thickness of the fourth 
finger. They have no branches. || He twists them well, going towards 
the thick end. | He steps on the top while he is twisting it; and 
when | the piece that he has twisted is long, he steps near the end 
of the | twisted piece and continues twisting it. He does not stop 
until | the whole length has been twisted; and he 
puts a knotted loop at one end. Now it forms a] 
snare for catching goats where they have a single 
trail on a mountain. | As soon as he finds a place 
on the trail that is near a precipice upward and downward, | and also 
a tree standing at the outer side of the trail, then 
he ties| the thick end of the snare to the bottom of 
the tree. He opens the | loop and puts it be- 
hind the tree, in the middle of the goat-trail, 
in this way: = Now the treeis (1); the precipice | 
above is (2); } J» ~ the snare is (4); | the trail is (4); 
the precipice s below the trail is (3). |
