31 so that it is folded the same size | as the box-cover. Then she takes 
a mouthful of the liquid of the | chitons, and she spreads it out again. 
Then she blows water from her mouth over it. | She takes four 
mouthfuls of the dirty water and blows | it on it. Then the seaweed 
35 gets all wet, || and she folds it up again to the size of the cover. | 
Now it is four fingers thick. | As soon as this is done, the woman takes 
the soft tips of | cedar-branches and puts them in the bottom of the 
small box. Then she takes the | seaweed and puts it on the branches; 
40 and she takes more || cedar-branches and lays them over the seaweed. 
When | no more shows, she takes another piece of seaweed and | 
does the same as she did to the first one which is in the | little box; 
and she does not stop until all the seaweed is in the | small box. As 
45 soon as she has finished, she takes a long || rope and ties it around the 
small box. Then she draws the rope tight, | because she does not 
wish the small box to burst open, and she | puts stones on top of it. 
As soon as she has finished, she takes | short boards and measures the 
size of the top of the small box, so | that they fit the corners of the 
50 inside of the small box. Then she puts it down flat || on the seaweed. 
Then she takes up stones and puts them on the | small box containing 
the seaweed; and she does not stop until there is no | room to put 
stones on, for there are | many stones to put on the top of the box
