  The 
  corn 
  bread 
  of 
  the 
  Indian 
  is 
  unleavened, 
  and 
  cooked 
  by 
  

   boiling 
  in 
  water. 
  After 
  hulling 
  the 
  corn 
  and

  inches 
  in 
  diameter 
  and

  or 
  cakes

  then 
  boiled 
  until

   are 
  hard, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  general 
  mode 
  of 
  cooking 
  ; 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  

   sometimes 
  baked.

  these 
  loaves 
  while 
  under
