Then, | after all the good meat has been sucked off, they throw the 
bones which they have been sucking | into the empty dish which has 
been put down for the | bones that have been sucked off, to be thrown 
into it. After all the | bones have been taken out of the head, they 
pick up out of the dish with their hands || the edible part of the 
salmon-head and eat it; and after | they have finished eating it, the 
man takes away the dish with the bones in it, | and pours them into 
the kettle, and he washes | the dishes out, and he pours water into 
the dishes and places them in front | of those who have eaten the 
salmon-heads, and they wash their hands. || After they have finished 
washing their hands, the man | draws some water for them, and they 
drink it; and after they have finished drinking, | they go out. That 
is all about this. |

long time on the fire, so that they || fall to pieces. The reason why

taken off from the fire, and the salmon-heads are dipped out into a 
dish, and | it is put in front of those who are going to eat it; and |
