she puts the stern ashore, she goes ashore and picks up || some drift- 
wood and puts it aboard her old canoe; and | when she has enough, 
she pushes the canoe off the beach and goes aboard. | She goes sea- 
ward, and looks downward into the water; and | when she sees many 
barnacles on stones, she takes her anchor | and puts it overboard 
where she thinks it will run dry at half || tide. She cuts shavings of 
dry cedar-wood; and | when her old barnacle-catching canoe is left

the small pieces of driftwood, and || lays down the cross-ends for a 
fire on the beach, and she takes two other pieces and lays them | down 
as side-pieces. Between them she puts | the shavings for kindling. 
Then she places cross-pieces | of medium size on top of the side- 
pieces. | Then she picks up stones close alongside, and puts them on 
top; || and when she thinks she has enough, she lights the fire under-

When she thinks that the basket is heavy, she carries it | and pours out 
(the contents) close to the fire for heating stones; || and she continues 
picking up the barnacle-stones. She only stops when she has | 
gathered many; and as soon as she finishes, she takes two pieces of
