the scales and the skin; and when it is all off, | she eatsit. She doesnot 17 
dip it into grease, because it is very fat. | I have forgotten this, that 
the woman also beats | the body of the kelp-fish before she puts it 
down on its stomach to roast by the fire, || so as to loosen the bones 20 
from the meat. | 
After she has eaten the kelp-fish, she drinks | water, but not much, 
for it tastes salt. That is the reason why she does not drink much 
water, for she knows that she has to keep on drinking water. | Only 
the one who has caught the fish eats it roasted by the fire while lying 
on its stomach; || for she only does this with the kelp-fish when she 25 
is very hungry | when she comes home, after having been fishing 
with her fish-trap. | That is the reason why she puts one kelp-fish 
down on its belly by the fire, | for it takes a very short time to be 
done. Old women | eat kelp-fish roasted by the fire while lying on 
its belly; for it is || too dirty for young women, because the | intes- 30 
tines and the gills are in it, and the scales are also on it; for | they 
are afraid to eat the scales of the fish, because it often kills | those 
who eat them with the meat, because they stick in the throat and 
they can not get out | the scales when they eat the kelp-fish. There 
is no way of getting them out when they are || stuck in the throat, 35 
and our throat gets sore when we | swallow them. Now I have 
finished talking about this. |
