wn two or three times, giving it a slight jerk at the upward motion, and raising the arm partially in doing so. At the same time he inclined the body forward a little, eyes looking down--_fishing_. This refers to fishing on the ice, and, as may be inferred from it, to the use of hook and line. A short stick to which the line is attached serves as a rod and is moved up and down in the manner described. (22) After a short pause he elevated the hand, directing the index toward that point of the meridian which the sun passes at about the tenth hour of the day, and following the direction with, the eye--_about ten o'clock_. (23) Turning his face toward the southwest and holding up the flat and extended hand some distance in front of it, back outward, he waved it briskly and several times toward the face--_fresh breeze from the southwest_. (24) Repeated No. 21 (_fishing_), playing the imaginary fish-line up and down regularly for a while, till all at once he changed the movement by raising the hand in an oblique course, which movement he repeated several times, each time increasing the divergence and the length of the motion--_the fish-hook don't sink perpendicularly any longer_, i.e., _it is moving_. (25) Quickly erecting his body he looked around him with surprise--_looking with surprise_. (26) Shading his eyes with the hand, gazed intensively toward the south--_fixedly gazing toward the south_. (27) Threw up his arm almost perpendicularly the next moment--_greatly astonished_. (28) Extended and slowly moved the arm from southeast to northwest as far as he could reach, at the same time exclaiming "_mig-wam_" "ice"--_the ice from shore to shore_. (29) Approximated the flat and horizontally extended hands, backs upward, with their inner edges touching, whereupon, suddenly turning the edges downward, he withdrew them laterally, backs nearly opposed to each other--_parting_. (30) Pushed the left hand, palm outward, fingers joined, edges up and down, forward and toward its side with a full sweep of the arm, head following the movement--_pushed in that direction_, i.e., _northeastward_. (31) Repeated No. 23, but waved the hand only once and with a quick and more powerful movement toward the face--_by the force of the wind_. (32) Rotated hands in front of body, rolling them tips over tips very rapidly, fingers with thumbs nearly collected to a point--_winding up the hook-line in a hurry_. (33) Quickl
