grass. That is good for scraping | sea-eggs. When he arrives there, 11 
he | takes up his scraping-net and puts it into the water. He | 
pushes it down to the bottom with the mouth of the | scraping-net 
towards the bow of his canoe, and the canoe goes stern first, as || the 
man turns his face towards the stern of his canoe; | and he pushes 
down the scraping-net forcibly, and pulls it so that | the sea-eggs 
jump into the scraping-net. As soon as it is full, he | hauls it up and 
empties it out towards the bow of the canoe. He continues doing | 
so, and only stops when his canoe is almost full || of sea-eggs. Then 20 
he goes home to his house. | As soon as he arrives at the beach of his 
house, he calls his tribe | to come and cut the flat sea-eggs. Immedi- 
ately all the men, | their wives, and the children go to the beach 
where | the canoe with sea-eggs is, and they take along || horse-clam 25 
shells. If there are no horse-clam shells, then they | take small 
clam-shells. If there are none of these, they | take large mussel-shells 
to break the sea-eggs. They | walk out to where the canoe with the 
sea-eggs is, and they take the sea-eggs in the folds of their | blankets 
and carry them ashore. They put them down on the beach || near the 30 
edge of the water, and all the others | do the same. Then they sit 
dJown on the beach, and each takes | one sea-egg and cuts all round it
