428 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [BTH. ANN. 35 
only stop pouring oil on when | the liquid of the kelp is all covered 
with it. Other | young men pass the spoons around among the 
guests; and as soon as | every one has a spoon, the dishes are put 
before them, and they || begin to eat with spoons; and they eat for a 
long time, then they have finished. Then they | cool themselves 
down with fresh water. As soon as they finish drinking, the | young 
men take up the dishes and take them to the wives of the | guests. 
Then the guests go out. Kelp with herring-spawn is not eaten | dry. 
It is only eaten soaked, and || it stays on the fire a long time when it is 
being boiled. | That is all about this. | 
Herring-Spawn with Salmon-Berry Shoots.—One thing | I have for- 
gotten about the herring-spawn. It is eaten dry with salmon-berry 
shoots, | and it is dipped into oil with salmon-berry shoots when it || 
is eaten. That is all about this. | 
Mountain-Goat Butchering.—Now I will talk | about the mountain- 
goat brisket. It is cut off beginning at the | soft place between the 
lower ends of the ribs and the breast-bone, | in this way: 
As soon as it has been taken off, || 1t is hung up right over 
the fire of the house. If it is very 
fat, then the side-ribs are cut off 
from the backbone | all the way down to the 
flanks, and it is in this way; and | it is also hung 
up just over the fire of the house, and the other piece also. |
