642 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL (ETH. ANN. 85 
Now I will talk about the notice for the | wife of the hunter, which 
way the hunter her husband goes, || for the bed of the hunter is not 
near the bed of his | wife, and generally the hunter hardly speaks | to 
his wife. When the hunter dreams | that he is making love to a living 
woman, and when he dreams that he cohabits | with the living woman 
to whom he makes love, he immediately arises out of his || bed and 
quietly goes, takes his powder-box | and his gun and the mat which 
serves as his seat and his paddle, and | he goes quietly out of the door 
of the house. | 
As soon as he goes out of the house, he puts a mark on the | ground 
with the tip of his hunting-paddle. || The mark runs in the way in 
which he goes out paddling; and when | his wife arises and sees that 
her husband is not in his bed, | the woman knows at once that her 
husband had a good dream | for hunting. She goes out of the door of 
the house | and looks at the ground. There she sees her husband’s 
mark, || and then she knows which way he has gone. | 
As soon as she knows which way he has gone, she goes back | into 
her house, not fast, and sits down, and she takes some food | and eats it, 
and she chews for a long time what she is eating, | and she swallows it 
in very small pieces; that is, if || the hunter's wife is an experienced 
woman. She does not stop eating until her | cheeks ache. |
