FIFTY YEARS' SALMON FISHING &c. 381 



small score was due more to a rising of the In- 

 dians than to the weather, and salmon were 

 speared almost daily in the pools. In 1861 the 

 party was composed of Dr. Adamson, Capt. 

 Holyoake, Col. Charteris and Major Howard. 

 My duties as Guardian only began when the party 

 left the river. Owing to a strong wind which de- 

 layed my arrival I did not meet them, so I have 

 no record of who were Dr. Adamson's guests that 

 year. In 1863 the anglers were Dr. Adamson, 

 Capt. Holyoake and Robert Hare Powell, of 

 Philadelphia, Penn., U.S.A. 



1864 



In 1864 the river was fished by Messrs. J. Law, 

 A. Gilmour and Robert Hare Powell. The Rev. 

 Dr. Wm. Agar Adamson, author of "Salmon 

 Fishing in Canada," was a guest on the river, but 

 did not fish. Between the 23rd June and the 

 19th July, both days inclusive, Mr. Law fished 

 20 days and killed 61 fish, Mr. Gilmour 18 days, 

 killing 46 fish, and Mr. Powell 20 days, with a 

 score of 57. Total, 164 fish, weighing 1,518 Ibs. 

 Mr. J. Law's largest fish weighed 20 pounds, Mr. 

 Allan Gilmour's 19 pounds, and Mr. Powell's, 

 18 pounds. 



1865 



In 1865 some excellent scores were made on the 

 Godbout. 



The river was fished by Captain Noble, Mr. A.
