BoAS] PRESERVATION OF FOOD 285 
until winter. | As soon as the cooking-basket is empty, (the woman) 
pours | in more raw viburnum-berries; and when it is full, she puts it 
down by the side of the | steaming-box, and she puts a few more 
red-hot stones | into it. When (the water) nearly boils up, she 
puts || the cooking-basket in, and watches it until they | get red or 
sometimes whitish yellow. Then they are | done. When they have 
that color, they are taken out, and | the woman then goes and pours 
them into the empty oil-box. When four | basketfuls (of berries) 
have been poured into the empty oil-box, || she takes another empty 
oil-box, washes | it out, and, after doing so, she puts it down along- 
side of one that has been filled with | viburnum-berries; and she pours 
in also four | basketfuls of steamed viburnum-berries. Sometimes | a 
couple will put up as many as ten oil-boxes full of viburnum-berries, || 
when they have a strong desire to do so, for they help each other 
when they wish to have | many oil-boxes full of viburnum-berries. 
When they are all done, | (the woman) goes to draw fresh water in a 
large bucket, and | four bucketfuls are poured into each of the oil- 
boxes containing steamed viburnum-berries. | When water has been 
poured into all of them, they || take a board and lay it as a cover on 
top of the oil-boxes containing the berries. | They keep it there until 
the winter, | when the people will have a winter ceremonial. That 
is all about this. |
