quickly up and down a few inches, the arm progressing forward at every stroke--_cutting it off_. (60) Repeated No. 55 (_bad fix_), meaning in this case--_bad job_. (61) Opposed the palms of both hands, vertically, at a distance of eight inches, holding them thus steady a moment and estimating the thus indicated measure with the eyes--_eight inches thick_. (62) Then struck the palm of left with the back of arched right forcibly--_solid ice_. (63) Laid the joined and extended first two fingers, palm up, across side of leg, a foot above heel, accompanying the movement with the eye--_one foot deep_. (64) Pushed downward perpendicularly and from same point the flat, extended hand--_sinking_, or _giving in_--and turning the hand upward at wrist, back downward, he flirted up the fingers several times quickly--_water--slush and water_. (65) Passed one hand over the other as in the act of pulling off mittens--_mittens_. (66) Made the motion of wringing out a wet piece of cloth--_wringing wet_. (67) Grasped a fold of his trowsers (below the knee) and wrung it--_trowsers also wet_. (68) Placed palms of both hands upon legs, near to the ankles, and dragged them up to the knees--_up to the knees_. (69) Shivered--_feeling cold_. (70) Pointed with thumb backward and toward the right (designating his companion) and repeated No. 2 (_hair gray_)--_my old companion_, i.e., _Ga-bi-wa-bi-ko-ke_. (71) Repeated No. 69 (_feeling cold_) more emphatically--_more so_, i.e., _suffering worse from the cold._ (72) Repeated No. 59 (_cutting the ice_). (73) Made sign for _tired--getting tired_, as follows: The left arm is partly extended forward, and is gently struck near the bend of the elbow, usually above it, with the palm of the right hand, at the same time the head is usually inclined to the left side, then in similar manner the right arm is extended and struck by the left hand, and the head in turn inclined to the right. (74) Repeated No. 35--(_hatchet_). (75) Turned the slightly closed left (thumb obliquely upward) over to its side, partially opening it in so doing, fingers pointing to left--_passing it over to his companion at the left_, i.e., _Sabadis_. (76) Flung forefingers of both hands, backs forward, thumbs upward, remaining fingers partially closed, toward their respective sides alternately--_by turns_. (77) Repeated No. 59 (_cutting the ice_). (78) Elevated the hand above head, thumb and fi
