fresh salmon-spawn | at noon and in the evening. It is not eaten in 
the morning, for || it makes one sleepy. After they have eaten the 
salmon-spawn, | they drink water. That is all about the salmon- 
spawn. | 
Sockeye-Salmon.—Now'! I will talk about the | way it is cooked. 
When winter comes, the | woman takes her soaking-box and puts 
it down in the corner of the | house. Then she pours water into 
it. When it is half full || of water, she takes the basket with 
the split salmon and | brings it out, and puts it down near the 
soaking-box. Then she takes out the | split salmon and puts them 
into the soaking-box. After she has done so, | she takes two large 
stones and puts them on top of | the split salmon that are to be 
soaked, to keep them under water. || Sometimes they are left in four 
or six | days soaking in the house. As soon as they are soft, the 
woman | takes a kettle and puts it by the side of the fire; then | she 
takes out the split salmon, and takes them where the kettle is stand- 
ing. | Then she cuts the split salmon into three pieces with her fish- 
knife, || and she puts them into the kettle. | After she has done so, 
she takes a piece of old mat and covers over | the split salmon that 
is in the kettle. | After she has tucked in (the mat) all around, she 
pours a little | water over it. Then she puts it over the fire. As
