354 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [WPEH. ANN. 35 
16 and when it begins to boil, | she takes her spoon and pushes the 
end into it, so that the | meat of the silver-salmon is broken up; 
and when it is all in small pieces, | she stirs it a little. She does not 
20 let it boil a long time, | before she takes it off, for it is done. || Then 
she takes her small dish and dips the boiled | silver-salmon into it. 
After she has done so, she calls her husband | and her children to 
come and sit down; and when they are all | seated, she gives each a 
spoon, draws some | water and gives it to them to drink. After || 
25 drinking, they eat with spoons; and after eating, they | drink some 
more cold water. That is what the Indians call | “cooling down.” 
After drinking, the man | takes the dishes and pours out into the | 
kettle what is left in them. Then he takes the kettle, carries || it 
out of the house, goes down to the beach, and | pours the contents 
into the sea, and he washes it out |so that it is clean. No oil 
is poured in. When | the sockeye-salmon is first caught in the 
salmon-weirs | up the river, it is treated in the same way. The only 
difference between this and the way they do with || dog-salmon 
caught on the upper part of the river is that they put | much oil 
into it, for it is lean, and that they pour out | outside of the house 
what is left over. That is all | about this. |
