174 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [BTH. ANN. 36 
As soon as he has finished this, he leaves; and after four | days he 
20 goes to look at his snare; and if a goat has been snared, || he can 
see it a long ways off hanging down at (3). Now the | snare has caught 
a goat which has died. He pulls it up, | takes the snare off the 
neck of the goat, | and sets it again. Then he takes the goat | a little 
25 ways off from the place of his snare. || Then he cuts it open and takes 
out the intestines, but he keeps | the tallow. He twists cedar-withes 
and | ties together one fore-leg and one hind-leg | with the cedar-withes, 
and he does the same with | the legs of the other side. Then he puts 
30 the tallow into the || belly. He cuts holes through each | side of the belly 
with his knife, pushes the | thick end of the cedar-withe into it, and 
sews it up. | After he has sewed it up, he puts his arms through | the 
legs that have been tied togetber, so that the goat lies with its belly 
35 on his back, || and he carries it down the mountain. 
1 Sealing.—And they do the same way when hunting | seal as they 
do when hunting porpoise; and | the hunting-canoe for seal-hunting 
is the same as the hunting-canoe for porpoise-hunting. | 
5 As soon as it gets dark, at new moon the hunter gets ready, || and 
carries down his small hunting-canoe, | which he launches on the sea.
