and ties them firmly in the middle. | They are this way when 
75 they have been tied: - When || this has been done, she 
does the same with the others, and she only stops | 
when they are all tied in bundles in the middle. 
Sometimes | she has more than a hundred bundles of 
long cinquefoil-roots belonging to one woman who has a good | 
cinquefoil-garden. After this has been done, she puts the | long 
cinquefoil-roots into the basket; and when they are all in, she 
80 takes || grass and puts it on top, and she ties it down with 
cedar-bark. | Then in the evening she gathers up | the baskets 
for long cinquefoil-roots, and she spreads mats over them. | 
After she has done so, she goes home to her digging-house. | In the 
morning, when daylight comes, the woman and her husband get 
85 ready. || They launch their canoe into the sea, | push down the roof- 
boards of the digging-house | and place them in the bottom of the 
canoe. When | the bottom of the canoe is all covered, the baskets 
with short roots | are placed on the boards in the canoe; and when 
90 they are all in, || they take the baskets with long roots and put them | 
on top of the baskets with short roots; and when they are all in, | 
they put the bedding and provisions on top. When everything is in, | 
they take the mats and peed) them over the load. ue When Pe eaare
