are | two in each canoe paddling; and they are going with the bow 
ahead to where they know | many salmon-berry bushes grow. They 
do not all wish to keep together,— | the whole number (of women). 
As soon as they come to a place where they are going to pick salmon 
berries, || they go ashore out of their small canoes, and | take their 
baskets and hooked boxes along. | The hooked box is carried on the 
back, and in front of their bodies hang | the baskets. They have 
tied the small canoes | ashore by means of the anchor-line. After 
this has been done, they go back to the place where the || salmon- 
berry bushes grow; and when they come to a place where there are 
many salmon-berries | on the bushes, they put down the hooked box 
so that it stands upright, | and they begin to pick. They put the 
berries into the | front-basket; and when it is full, they pour the 
salmon-berries which they have | picked into the hooked box. They 
do so every time || when they fill the front-basket. When the box 
is full, | they fill the front-basket too; and as soon as it | is full, they 
carry it on their backs to the hooked boxes. Then they | put them 
into the small canoe, they go | aboard, and go home to their houses. 
As soon as they arrive || at the beach of the house, they hang the 
front-| basket infront of the body. The man who engaged them goes 
down to the beach | and carries up the hooked boxes, and he pours 
the | berries into an empty oil box. |
