they could not eat. They carry || it in their hands and go home.

goes up from the beach and makes a fire under the ‘“plucked cheeks.” | 
When they are dry enough, (the woman) takes them down and puts 
them into a | large basket. Then she puts them away for the 
winter. | That is the end. || 
Roasted Dog-Salmon Heads (Heads of |dog-salmon when they are 
roasted and dried, with the edible insides).— | 
When the woman cuts off the head of the | dog-salmon, and when 
she has many salmon-heads, she takes the || same number of short 
roasting-tongs of the same kind as the roasting-tongs | for roasting 
the ‘‘plucked cheek,” and she does in the same way as she does | when 
she roasts them. Each point of the roasting-tongs is pushed | into 
each side of the neck of the salmon-head, and reaches up to the eyes. | 
When this is done, she puts them up around the fire on the ground, || 
outside of the house. First the jaws are roasted; and | when they 
begin to be black, she turns them around with the nape of the neck |

them | into the house. Then she puts them up with the | roasting- 
tongs over the fire, right where it is really hot. || They stay there a
