through them runs a tide against which it is 

 almost impossible to row a boat. 



The favourite fishing-ground was about 300 

 yards north and south of the mouth of the 

 river, and tides had to be seriously considered 

 in getting on to the water. 



Another good spot neglected by most of us, 

 except the Salt Lake City angler, was just 

 opposite the Indian Cemetery about a mile 

 from the hotel. 



Here, in one morning, I killed three large 

 fish on my way back to the hotel from the 

 more favourite ground which I had fished all 

 the morning in vain. 



South of the hotel and down to the Cape 

 Mudge Lighthouse, about four miles away, a 

 few tyee salmon were to be met with, but in 

 the water all along Valdez Island and near the 

 lighthouse, the cohoe salmon were in abund- 

 ance, and it was the favourite spot for the 

 Indian fishermen who were fishing for the 

 salmon cannery at Quatiaski.
