dy outward and toward the right horizontally, indicating the rippled surface of turbulent water by an appropriate motion, and extending the arm to full length, fingers pointing northeastward (toward the right) at termination of motion, and accompanied the movement with a corresponding turn of the head, eyes gazing far into distance--_water all along the shore_. (49) Pushed the extended finger, back upward, forward (i.e., northward) in a slightly arched movement--_across_. (50) Directing it toward an object (tree) at a distance of about one hundred yards the next moment--_a distance of about one hundred yards_. (51) Repeated No. 49 (_across_) without interrupting the motion--_that distance placed across_. (52) Motions as follows: Hands naturally relaxed, edges up and down, backs outward, are with a quick movement and simultaneously carried from the epigastrium forward and toward their sides, arms being extended from elbows only. The hands change their position during the movement and are ultimately placed palms upward, thumbs and fingers extended and widely separated, pointing forward. This is the general sign for _doubt_. He also turned the face from one side to the other as though interrogating his companions--_what are we to do_? (53) Repeated No. 35 (_hatchet_). (54) Raised up the finger perpendicularly, other fingers closed, thumb resting against second, and emphatically inclined it forward--_only one_. (55) Elevated the arm from the elbow toward the head, hand naturally relaxed, back obliquely upward, inclining the face sideward with a look of consternation, simultaneously, and again mechanically lowered it, dropping palm of hand heavily upon the knee--"_bad fix_." (56) Placed the hand to his hip and raised it up, closed to fist, by a rapid and very energetic movement, ejaculating _haw!--quick to the work_ (referring to the ax or hatchet). (57) Turning the body downward, he passed the hand, with forefinger directed toward the ground, forward, sideward, and backward, in three movements, each time turning at a right angle--_measuring off a square piece on the ground_, i.e., _on the ice_. (58) Looked and pointed toward an object some twenty feet off, then opposed palms of hands horizontally, and at a short distance from each other, connecting both movements in such a manner as to clearly illustrate their meaning--_about twenty feet wide_. (59) Moved the hand--fist, thumb upward--several times
