hair has been singed off. Then it is given to the steersman. If | 3 
there are many seals, the hunter does not give the head to his || 
steersman, but he pays him five pairs of blankets for | one hundred 5 
seals, which are equal to five dollars; for | the head is always left on 
the body when there are many hair-seals. When | they let the chief 
buy the seal, then the head is cut off, and | it is given to the old 
people, for it is never given with the || meat in a seal-feast. The 10 
old people just take off the blubber of the head | and cut it into strips, 
in this manner: It is just put into a | kettle, water is 
poured into it, and the kettle is put on the| fire of the 
house. It takes a long time to boil it before it is 
done. | When it is done, the boiled head is taken off 
the fire. || They take a small dish and put it down alongside of 15 
the kettle with boiled head. | They take tongs and take hold of 
the | blubber of the boiled heads, and put it into the small dish. | 
When it is all in, they take dried halibut, break it into pieces, and 
put it into | another small dish. Now it is to be eaten with the 
strips of blubber of the || boiled seal-head. If there is no dried hali- 20 
but, dried salmon is eaten | with it; and the dried salmon and dried 
halibut are eaten with strips | of blubber which is not eaten at the 
great seal-feast which is given when there are many seals. | This is
