y passed the hand toward the left breast of his coat--_putting it in pocket_. (34) And bending the body forward made motion as if picking up something--_picking up_. (35) Raised the hand closed to fist, arm elevated so as to form a right angle with elbow, and made a short stroke downward and toward the left--_hatchet_. (36) Thence moved the hand to side of breast and pushed it down the waist--_putting it into belt_. (37) Placed the closed hands to each side of the waist (thumbs upward with tips facing each other) and approximated them rapidly and with a jerk in front of navel--_tightening the belt_. (38) With both hands lowered to the ground, he described an elongated oval around his foot by placing tips of forefingers together in front of the toes and passing them around each side, meeting the fingers behind the heel and running them jointly backward a few inches to indicate a tail--_snow-shoe_. (39) Raised up the heel, resting the foot on the toes and turning it a little toward the right, brought it back in a downward movement with a jerk--_putting it on_. (40) Waved the left hand emphatically forward, palm backward, fingers joined and pointing downward, extending them forward at termination of motion, at the same time pushing forward the head--_starting_. (41) Directed the finger of the same hand toward the light-house--_toward that point_. (42) Pointed with extended first two fingers of the same hand, thumb with remaining fingers partially extended to right and to left--_companions_. (43) Repeated No. 40 (_starting_) less emphatically. (44) Made several very quick jumping movements forward with the extended left fingers, joined, back upward--_going very fast_. (45) Repeated No. 23 (_wind_), increasing the force of the movement and terminating the sign with the second repetition (wave)--_wind increasing_. (46) Raised up the hand in front of head and then arrested it a moment, palm outward, fingers extended, upward and forward--_halt_. (47) Partially turning the body toward the north he lowered the extended hand, back forward, fingers joined and pointing downward toward the left of his feet and moved it closely in front of them, and with a cutting motion, toward the right, following the movement with the eye--_cut off right before feet_, i.e., _standing on the very edge_. (48) Still facing the north, he carried the hand, back upward, fingers joined and extended, from left side of bo
