ning at (2), | towards (4), and she marks it. Then it is in this way: 
\ After || she has marked it, she begins to dig along the 
marks which she has put down. She digs with her | 
- x digging-stick and the large shell. When the hole is 
one span | and four finger widths deep, she | stops digging. 
4 She takes dry | driftwood and puts it into the hole; 
and as soon as it shows level with the ground, || she puts small 
pieces of driftwood over it crosswise. Then she puts | stones 
on; and after this has been done, she lights a fire underneath for 
steaming | the mashed viburnum-berries. When the fire blazes up, 
she takes a large | dish, washes it out well with water, and, when it is 
clean, | she takes the basket with viburnum-berries and puts it down 
next || to the washed large dish. She takes her husband’s stone 
hammer | and sits down next to the large dish. Then | she takes a 
handful of green picked berries and puts them into the | large dish. 
Then she pounds them with the stone hammer until | they are 
crushed. When they are all crushed, she gathers them up at one 
end || of the large dish, and she takes another handful of berries | 
with her left hand, puts them into the steaming-box for green | 
virburnum-berries, and she pounds them with her | stone hammer 
with which she crushes them. When they are all crushed, | she 
gathers them up at the end, like the first ones that she crushed; |/ 
and she continues doing this with the whole number of green berries.
