roots are dry all over. Then the dirt drops off. | Then the woman 
takes her basket, goes to the | pile of clover, and puts (the roots) into 
the clover-basket. | When all the baskets are full, || the woman takes 
dry grass and places it on top of the | clover-baskets. After she has 
done so, she takes a | thin cedar-bark rope and ties up the top of the 
baskets. | Then she puts them into the canoe and goes home to the 
winter house, | for they dig clover at another place, for || the best 
clover grows at Knight Inlet and at Gwatyé. Now she arrives at her | 
winter house. She does not put down the clover-| basket near the fire 
of the house, but she | puts it in a cool corner of the house. Now 
she waits for | the winter before cooking the clover-roots. As soon 
as the people begin the winter ceremonial, then || the people are in-

Digging Cinquefoil-Roots.——The same digging-stick | is used for 
digging cinquefoil-roots which is used for clover. Sometimes | the 
man who makes the digging-stick makes a smaller digging-stick | for 
the cinquefoil-roots, for it is thinner and it is one span || shorter than
