Dried Codfish.—When they can not | catch any halibut and they 1 
have much codfish, | the woman takes out the guts, and she does in 
the same way as I | described before when she cuts what has been 
caught by her || husband; and she also does in the same way when ; 
she spreads open the meat | while the skin is stillon. Assoon as | the 
bone is taken off, the woman takes off the skin and throws it away. | 
or 
Then one-half of it is this way: Then the woman | cuts 
itin two lengthwise. Then there are four pieces on both 
sides. || Then she cuts straight down one-half of | one 19 
side in this manner, and she does in the same way | 
as she does with the Ev halibut when she cuts them 
thin, and they are | hung up at the place where 
halibut is dried. It is done in the same manner. | As soon as it gets 
dry, it is all white; and when it is || bad weather, it is dried in the 15 
house, behind | the fire. When it gets dry, it is all red. | All this 
does not keep well, the sun-dried as well as the | smoke-dried (fish). 
That is all about this. | 
The dried codfish is treated in the same way, and they also || do 20 
everything with it that they do with dried halibut. It is eaten as 
breakfast in the morning | when there is no dried salmon in the 
house. |
