basket; and | when that is also full and the berries are heaped high, 
she || picks them into her front-basket; and when this is also heaping : 
full, | she puts it on the ground. Then she breaks off good hemlock- 
branches and | puts them on the opening of the salal-baskets all 
around; and when | she has put them in standing all around the 
salal-berry baskets, she | bends down the ends and ties the hemlock- 
branches down in this way.! || After tying them down with cedar-bark 
rope; which is on the basket, she | puts the swallowing-basket down | 
into her small canoe, and she goes back and | carries the medium- 
sized basket, and she hangs the | front-basket over her chest, and she 
carries one on each side as she || comes out of the woods, and puts 
them in the bow of the travelling-canoe. As soon as | she has done 
this, she goes aboard her travelling-canoe and paddles | home to her 
house. As soon as she arrives on the | beach of her house, she carries 
the largest | basket on her back and takes it up into her || house. 
She puts it down at a place not too near the fire. | She goes down 
again to the other two berry-baskets, and she carries | one on each side 
as she walks up, in the same way as she had done when she came out 
of the woods | when she picked the berries on the island, and she 
puts them down. |
