Poked Halibut-Skin.—When the skin has been | kept for a long 1 
time, and its fat turns red, it is not | good to be scorched. When the 
owner wants to eat it, | she takes her kettle and pours water || into 5 
it until it is half full. Then she puts it on the fire. | She takes down 
the skin from the place where she has hung it up, in the rear of the 
house. | Then she takes her fish-knife and cuts the skin into pieces, 
in | this manner: | 
As soon as she finishes cutting it, she waits for 
the water to boil || in the kettle. As soon as it be- 10 
gins to boil, | she puts the pieces of skin into it; 
and when (the skin) is all in (the kettle), she | takes her tongs and 
pokes down on top of the skin, so as to | keep it under the water in 
which it is being boiled. Therefore | it is called ‘“‘poked skin.” 
After it has been boiling for a long time, || when she thinks that it is 
soaked, she takes it off of the fire. | Then she takes her small dish 
and puts it down at the place where she is sitting. | Then she takes 
her tongs and takes the poked skin out of the water, and | puts it 
into the small dish. As soon as it is all out of the kettle, | she drinks 
_ 
5 
fresh water, when it is not || in the morning; but when it is morning, 20 
she rinses her mouth. As soon as | she has finished drinking, she 
eats it | while it is still hot; for when it gets cold, they can not | bite
