10 and places it || near the fire. Then he takes his buckets and goes to 
draw | water, and pours it into the box. When it is half full | of 
water, he stops pouring it in. He takes his | tongs and picks up the 
red-hot stones, which he | puts imto the cooking-box. When the 
15 water begins to boil, || he takes up the basket with the pieces of moun- 
tain-goat meat and places the basket with its contents | in the boiling 
water. As soon as the basket has been put | in, he takes his tongs, 
takes up more | red-hot stones, and places them outside the basket. | 
20 Then the water begins to boil hard all around the basket || containing 
the pieces of mountain-goat meat. It does not take | really long 
before it is done. Then he takes a short | piece of board and lays it 
down by the side of the cooking-box. He | puts down a narrow strip 
of split cedar-board in front of those who | are to eat the meat of the 
25 mountain-goat. Then he takes the tongs and || picks up the cooked 
goat-meat and puts it on the | short board. When it is all out of the 
basket, | he takes the cooked mountain-goat meat and places it on | 
the long strip of board in front of each of those who are to eat the 
mountain-goat meat. | Before they begin to eat the meat, they drink 
30 water; || and after they have drunk, the men take up the pieces of } 
mountain-goat meat and bite off a piece, and they eat it, and then all 
the | others begin to eat. After they have eaten, they drink | water. 
Then they go out.
