bucket filled | with salt water and pours it over it, and she | 
quickly takes up the old mats and spreads them over what is being 
steamed. || When it is covered over on top and on the sides, | she 
takes a rest. It may be half an hour according to the watch | when 
they are done. Then she takes off the mat covering; and | when it 
is all off, she waits for them to get dry and also to | cool off. Then she 
takes her large baskets and washes them || in salt water, until the 
sand comes off. When it is | all off, she carries them up and puts 
them down by the side of the place where the | barnacle-stones have 
been steamed. She sits between the two large baskets. | She takes 
the barnacle-stones and she pulls off the barnacles, and she | throws 
away the stones when the barnacles are all off; and she || puts the 
barnacles into the baskets carefully, so as not to break them | when 
she puts themin. She continues doing this with the whole number; 
but, even if she takes the barnacles quickly off the stone, | generally 
the tide rises to the place where she is steaming the barnacle-stones, 
for steaming in this way is slow. | When they are all off, she carries 
the basket of barnacles || and puts them on board the old barnacle- 
canoe. | As soon as they are all in, she puts aboard her old mats and 
the large | bucket; and when they are all aboard, she goes home to 
her house. | When she arrives at the beach of her house, she | gets 
out of the old canoe, which she lands stern first. Then she takes the
