place where she is going to work. || Then she takes up with both 
hands the cleaned salal-berries and | pours them into the low box for 
making salal-berry cakes, for its name is | ‘‘low box for making salal- 
berry cakes.’ She puts the berries into it; and | she only stops pour- 
ing in salal-berries when they are four | finger-widths deep, when they 
are levelled down on top. || Then she takes the tongs and takes up 
with them the red-hot stones. | First she dips them into a steaming- 
box containing water, so that | the ashes that stick on the stones will 
come off, and so that they may not be too hot | and burn the salal- 
berries when they are put in. | After dipping the stones in, she puts 
them in one corner of the || salal-berries; and she continues doing so 
with the other red-hot stones. | When she finishes, it is this way. 
Then | with both hands she takes more salal-berries 
and pours them on the red-hot stones which | are in 
the salal-berry box; and when these are also four | 
finger-widths in depth, then she takes the tongs and 
takes up || more red-hot stones. She dips them into the steaming- 
box | with water in it, and puts them on the salal-berries; | and 
when these are all covered with stones, she pours more | salal- 
berries on top; and when these are all in, she again | puts in more 
hot stones; and when they are all covered || with hot stones, she 
takes a medium-sized mat | and spreads over it, for now it boils up;
