her husband has caught by trolling, and also || the sockeye-salmon 
caught in salmon-weirs, she puts the spawn down on the beach | on 
the right-hand side of the place where she is sitting and cutting. As 
soon as she has finished | cutting, she takes a drying-rack, made on 
purpose, and puts | the spawn on it in this manner: eb 
As soon as this is done, | she puts it up just over the ler Iteazee

a long time, and it is only taken down when it is | really 
dry; and it is put into a spoon-basket of open weave, | 
and then she hangs it up again | behind the fire so that 
it gets just enough heat from it. Then it is | called ‘“dried-part-

Sockeye-Salmon.—that is, (old) white sockeye-salmon. | When 
the sockeye gets white in the upper part of the river, | it is called

upper part of the river. As soon as | (a man) gets many, his wife 
cuts some j)s— of them in the same way | as the dog-salmon 
are cut ' when they are made into green dry salmon. |

house, for she does not allow it | to be smoked by the smoke. Her 
husband only aging for hanging up what has been
