made, no variation, no question as to the path. 

 On their way up the river from the bay they 

 will pass other fresh- water streams, as large, even 

 larger, than Herring Kun. But their instinct is 

 true. They never turn aside until they taste 

 the Run, and though myriads enter, a half-mile 

 farther up the river not a herring will be found. 

 It is easy to see how the ox might know his 

 owner, and the ass his master's crib ; but how a 

 herring, after a year of roving through the sea, 

 knows its way up Herring Eun to the pond, is 

 past finding out.
