Note 2 — CONTENTS. (continued 2)

If the corpse be left unburied, it should be placed in a box2 unseen by the people, and should be arranged in this manner: Lower the head of the corpse until it is bowed between the legs, draw up the legs so that the knees would project beyond the shoulders; slip in a cord at the knee-joints and fasten tightly; the corpse then would be round in appearance.3 If there be anything which the deceased had, such as money, or clothes or other articles, it is buried with the corpse. Food is also left; fish, or tobacco, or kapa, it may be, so that the dead would not go hungry for food,4 or be cold; such is what I have heard.
