418 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [PTH. ANN. 35 
They eat it with spoons; and | when they have eaten, they drink a 
little water to cool themselves; || and after drinking, they go out. 
That is all | about it. | 
Steamed Flounder (Flounders steamed standing on edge on 
stones).—(The man gathers driftwood, and when he thinks he has 
enough to steam on stones the flounders put on edge, he goes home to his 
house. When it js high water, he throws out the driftwood on the 
beach of his house;) and! when all the driftwood is out, | he takes two 
medium-sized pieces of | driftwood not quite one fathom in length, | 
and puts them down above high-water mark. They are four || spans 
apart. He takes | easily-splitting cedar-wood and splits it into | 
thin pieces to start the fire, and he puts them down between the | two 
side-pieces of the fire. Then he takes medium-sized dry | driftwood 
and puts it down on top, so that the top is on the same level as the || 
two side-pieces. Then he puts driftwood crosswise over them. | As 
soon as it reaches from one end to the other the whole length of the 
two side-pieces, he | takes a medium-sized basket and goes to pick 
up medium-sized fresh stones, | and puts them into his stone carrying- 
basket. When it is full, | he carries it up and pours the stones on top 
of the cross-pieces on which the flounders are to be steamed. || He 
continues doing this, and does not stop until the stones are thick | 
over the top of it. Then he lights a fire under | them at each end.
