Boas] HUNTING, FISHING, AND FOOD-GATHERING 175 
Then he goes up the beach and takes his | canoe-box in which he 
keeps his harpoon-points and his harpoon-line, | and also the blue 
hellebore-root and peucedanum-seeds, and also sinew. | Then the 
hunter paddles with his steersman. . . . || All these are taken aboard 
the small canoe. As soon as they go aboard | the little hunting- 
canoe, they take their | paddles and paddle; and when they nearly 
arrive at the island, | the hunter puts his paddle down on the 
second thwart | behind him. The points of the harpoon turn 
towards the stern, and the two points || are pushed against the stern- 
seat on the left-hand side of the little canoe. | The handle of the 
harpoon-shaft les on the left-hand side of the bow, | where the har- 
pooneer is seated. | 
Then he pulls his harpoon-shaft out of the stern-seat; and he pushes 
it, handle first, forward and | places it in the bow of the little canoe. || 
He puts it down on his right side. Then he opens the canoe-box, | 
takes out the harpoon-line and the harpoon-points, and ties the end of 
the | line to the harpoon-line. | 
After this has been done, he puts the poimts on the prongs, | and he 
ties the ends of the guide-rope. Then he turns || the harpoon the other 
way, and ties the line on, where he holds it with his | left hand, as he 
is throwing the harpoon at what he is going to spear. As soon as he 
has finished, | then he puts the prongs and the harpoon-points
