has done so, | he looks for two medium-sized elongated stones for 
anchors at each end of the | fishing-lme. When he has found 
them, he puts them into his | fishing-canoe. Then he goes up 
30 the beach and || takes his fishing-paddle from his house. He goes 
down, carrying it, | to the beach, and goes into the stern of his 
fishing-| canoe. Then he paddles and goes to the fishing-place where 
the water is not | very deep. It is sufficiently deep if the fishing-line 
35 lies three | fathoms deep. As soon as he reaches it, || he takes up one 
of the elongated stones | and the end of the fishing- 
line, and ties the end of it to the middle of the | 
elongated stone. When this is done, he puts it 
overboard; and | when the anchor reaches the bot- 
tom, he takes his paddle and paddles. | When the small canoe begins 
40 to go ahead, the line runs out into the water. || When it is all in the 
water, he takes the | other elongated stone and ties it on,four fath- 
oms | from the end of the fishing-line. Then he takes his paddle | and 
paddles again, so as to stretch the fishing-line, and he puts overboard 
the | stone anchor. When it touches the 
bottom, he takes around cedar-wood || 
45 float of this shape and ties it to the end 
of the fishing-line. | Then he throws it 
into the water. Then he goes home
