through, they are done. Then she || calls her husband to take out 
the three | baskets with the boiled crabapples. They pour these into 70 
the empty oil-box | which has been washed out by the wife of the 
man, and which is now ready to be placed | where the crabapples are

crabapples into the three baskets, and | her husband puts more red- 
hot stones into the cooking-box. | As soon as the water boils up, he 
puts in | the three baskets with crabapples and does the || same as he 80 
did before; and after the crabapples have been boiled, | he takes the 
two large buckets, goes to draw some | water, and pours it on, 
because he wants to have two- | thirds more water than crabapples. | 
After he has done this, he takes a short board and puts it on. || He 85

owner have a winter ceremonial. | Sometimes the chiefs want to

tribes. | That is all about the cooked crabapples. |
