husband takes hold of | one end, and the woman takes hold of the 
other (end). They || lift them up at the same time, and then turn 
them over so that the drying-frame with the salal-berry cake is on 
top; | and when they turn them over, the cake falls upon the | 
empty drying-frame, and the strip of salal-berry cake has been 
turned over. | Then they put it again just over the fire. | After this 
has been done, she takes the same drying-frame | from which she 
had taken the strip of salal-berry cake. || She peels off the heated 
skunk-cabbage leaves which stick to it, and throws them away. | 
Then she turns it over and puts it on the next one; and she does | as 
she did before with the first one, turning over the cakes; and she 
continues | doing this with the others. It takes only one day | to 
dry all of them. When they are all dry, the woman || takes a small 
square box, takes off the cover, and she tilts it on one side by the side 
of the fire, | so that it will get dry imside. | As soon as the inside is 
very dry, she puts out the fire. | Then, without help, the woman 
takes down the drying-frames and | puts one on top of another, as 
they had been before, when she turned them over. || She takes the 
small square box of medium size and places it | near the drying- 
frames. Then she takes up the end of one strip of salal-berry cake, | 
puts it into the bottom of the salal-berry box, | and the end up 
against the narrow end of the small box. When part of it | covers
