of her | digging, and the same for the width of the hole she 
digs with her digging-stick. || Then she cleans the soil out with the : 
large clam-shell. When | it is one span and four finger-widths |

wood and puts them into the hole; and when they are level | with 
the floor, she takes larger pieces of driftwood and || puts them down 
on the sides of the hole. Then she puts one down on each side, 
inside of these two, | and she lays other medium-sized sticks cross- 
wise close together over the | four pieces. After this has been done, 
she takes her medium-sized hand- | basket, goes down to the beach,

them down. She puts the basket on her back and carries | it out of
