on which are the remains of food and the bones, and | shakes it into

husband also. After | they have finished drinking, he squirts a 
mouthful of water over | his hands; and his wife, on her part, puts

wife wash their hands together. The man takes four | mouthfuls of 
water and squirts it over his hands. After he has | squirted over his 
hands four times, he finishes. This kind of food is not used to invite|

that is not dried, and also the kelp-fish, for they are | very small. 
At last it is done. | 
Black Cod.—I have forgotten about the black cod, | for this one is 
treated in the same way as dried salmon when it is dried; and that 
also | is done in the same way,—it is scorched as they do dried 
60 salmon when it is eaten || in the morning; and it is also soaked when
