To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The blubber after being boiled is hung up in the smoke and dried and looks like bacon.
" The halibut is cut into thin flakes, which are dried in the sun without salt, and when well cured is nice, either eaten dry, dipped in whale oil or simply boiled or toasted before the fire.
" The Makahs are particularly dextrous in handling their canoes, and proceed in them fearlessly many miles from land in pursuit of whales or seals, or for fish- ing on the halibut banks fifteen miles northwest from the C...ape. Their canoes are beautifully modeled, resembling our finest clipper ships. They are formed from a single log of cedar, carved out with skill and elegance. The best canoes are made by the Clayoquotand Nittinat tribes on Vancouver island, B. C. , who sell them to the Makahs, but few being made by the latter tribe, owing to the scarcity of cedar in their vicinity.
' ' In attacking a whale their canoes are invariably manned with eight men six to paddle, one to steer and one in the bow to throw the harpoon.
