Boiled Lupine-Roots.—The woman takes her | small kettle, washes 
it, with fresh water, | and, when it is clean, she takes her small 
basket and | goes down to the beach of her house. She picks up 
some fresh || medium-sized stones, puts them into her small basket, 
and, when | she thinks she has enough to put into the bottom of her 
small kettle, she carries | them up into the house, and she puts them 
down next to the | kettle in which the lupine is to be cooked. She 
takes some fresh stones | and puts them into the bottom of the small 
kettle; and when they are all in, || she takes the lupine-root basket, 
unties the top, | and takes out the roots and | puts them on the 
stones in the bottom of the small kettle. | She continues doing so, 
and only stops when it is heaping full. | Then she takes some dead 
grass and covers it over, || and tucks the grass in all around, so that 
the steam comes through it | when the water begins to boil. She 
takes a shell of a large horse-clam, | dips out water in it, and pours it 
over the dry grass cover. | She puts on four shells of water. | After 
doing so, she puts the kettle with the lupine-roots on the || fire. The 
reason why she pours the water on is because she | wishes the roots 
to be wet, so that they may not get burned. Then it begins to boil, |
