she takes two medium-sized | pieces of driftwood and puts them 
down as side-pieces at the place where she intends to | build her fire, 
and between them she puts kindling-wood. When | the kindlng- 
wood is level with the two side-pieces, || she takes short pieces of 
driftwood and puts them crosswise over the side-pieces. | The stones 
are to be placed on these. When (the wood) is all on, she puts the 
stones on top of it; | and after the stones are all on, she lights | the 
fire underneath. When it blazes up, she takes the | huckleberries, 
which she is going to cook in a high square box, which she puts down 
next to the fire which she has made, and also her || long tongs and a 
bucket filled with water. She | places the bucket with water next 
to the fire, so that it may get warm. | After doing so, she takes 
spawn of the humpback-salmon and | puts it down in a dish. She 
takes her huckleberry- | baskets and pours the huckleberries into the 
high box in which || they are to be cooked. When the box is nearly 
full, she stops | pouring in huckleberries; and when the stones get 
red-hot, 
picks up the red-hot stones, and | dips them into the water in the 
bucket, so that the || ashes that stick to them come off. Then she 
puts them into the huckleberries which she is cooking. | She con- 
tinues doing this, and the hot stones sink down | in the berries. 
There are not very many stones which she pute y in, Js when they | begin
