1 Herring-Spawn.'—When (the man) has all (the spawn) in the 
canoe, | he goes ashore at a point where the wind blows hard. 
Then he|takes the long poles and puts 
them up in this way: | This is called 
“standing on rock;” and when he 
5 has finished || hanging up the hem- 
lock-branches with the spawn on 
it, and when it is fine weather | and the wind is blowing hard, 
(the spawn) gets dry in six days; | and when it is all dry, the 
man takes down the | hemlock-branches with the spawn on 
them and puts them on the rocky place, and | his wife wipes 
off the herring-spawn from the hemlock-branches. Then she ‘puts 
10 it || on a mat; and when it is done, she covers it with a mat, | 
when it is evening. In the morning, when day comes, she | spreads 
all the mats, and she scatters the herring-spawn over them; and 
when | it is really dry, she takes her boxes and she | picks out 
from among the white herring-spawn large pieces and puts them into 
15 the || boxes; and when (a box) is full, she takes the cover | and puts 
iton. Then she puts it away ina dry place in the house, | This is kept 
to be eaten in winter. Then she takes a | medium-sized cedar-bark 
basket and puts into it the red spawn. | This is sold to other tribes, 
20 for || this is not good to be kept long. Now that is all about hemlock- 
branches with | herring-spawn on them. ... Kelp is also towed
