fishing canoe, the prongs pointing to the place || where the fisherman 
is sitting in the stern of the flounder-fishing canoe. | He paddles 
seaward with his flounder-fishing paddle. As soon | as he comes to 
a place where the water is two fathoms deep, he | looks down, resting 
on his left hand, looking for | flounders. He backs-water with his 
flounder-fishing paddle, and is || going astern. Assoonas he discovers 
a flounder, he paddles ahead | to stop his flounder-fishing canoe; and 
when | the canoe stops, he puts the flounder-fishing paddle into the 
canoe, and | he takes his flounder-spear and puts it into the water, 
and he spears | the flounder in the middle, pulls it up, and shakes 
it off in the bow || of his flounder-fishing canoe; and he just goes on 
in the same way with the | others. As soon as he has caught many 
flounders, he goes home to his | house. | 
When he arrives at the beach of his house, his wife | comes and 
picks up a small basket, and she goes down to the beach carrying || the 
small basket. Then she puts it down in the middle of the flounder- 
fishing | canoe. She takes the flounders and puts them into the 
small basket; | and when the flounder-basket is full, she lifts it out 
of the canoe | and carries it up the beach into her house, and | she 
puts it down in the corner of her house. | 
Then she takes her small kettle and pours some water into it, and | 
she washes it out until itis clean; and as soon as all the dirt is out, |
