Broiled Dried Kelp-Fish.—Sometimes other people want | to eat 
soaked half-dried kelp-fish. | The woman first takes her tongs and 
puts them down | where she is sitting. Then she takes down the 
kelp-fish that has been hung up to dry, || and she puts it down at the 
place where the tongs are. She dips up some | water and places it 
with the dried kelp-fish. Then | she takes the fire-tongs and lifts 
the dried kelp-fish in the middle, | in this manner: | 
Then she holds it in the tongs over the fire, the flesh- 
side first || turned down; and as soon as the steam 
puffs out all over, | she turns it over and she broils 
the skin-side; and when | the skin becomes all black, 
she stops | broiling it, for it is done. Then she puts 
it down ! on the mat with the skin down. She drinks water; and 
after || drinking, she begins to eat the meat. She only | takes off 
the meat from the skin and puts it into her mouth. | She does not 
dip’ it into oil, for this kind is fat. |

and when it is done, she takes a cup with water, || takes a mouthful, 
and blows the mouthful of water over the flesh-side of what she | has 
cooked. Then it gets really tender, and | therefore old women and
