crosswise, she puts the fish head first into the water in the | kettle. 
She never cuts off the head; for the first people | said that a good taste 
is given to the meat of the | kelp-fish by the fat of the eyeballs and 
the | brain. Therefore she puts it all into the kettle; || and she does 
this to all the other kelp-fish, if there are to be many ,guests. As soon 
as the kelp-fish is in the kettle, | she puts it over the -fire; and when it 
begins to boil, | the woman takes the fire-tongs and stirs it; | and after 
stirring it for some time, she takes it down. Then || she takes her large 
long-handled stirring-ladle and stirs with it | for a short time what is 
being cooked. She does not | stir it long, before she dips the spoon into 
what is being | cooked and pours it back [on the top of where she took 
it from]; | and she continues this for along time. It may be || half an 
hour according to the clock that the woman | dips up the water of what 
she is cooking and pours it back again. | She only stops when the 
liquid of what she is cooking is really milky. | This shows that the fat 
of the fish is well mixed | with the liquid. That is the reason why 
the woman dips up || the liquid of what she is cooking, so that the 
liquid | and the fat of the kelp-fish may be well mixed; for if the | 
liquid of the kelp-fish should not be milky when it is given by the 
host to his friends, | then the guests at once whisper among them-
