266 SCIENCE SKETCHES. 
“Jump,” followed by a long train of sixteen other 
cayuses of every variety of color and character, 
the most notable of all being a white pony called 
“ Tinker.” At some remote and unidentified period 
of her life she had bucked and killed a tradesman 
who bestrode her against her will, and thereby, as 
in the old Norse legends, she had inherited his 
strength, his wickedness, and his name. And when, 
after many adventures, I came back from this 
strange land and told the story of its fishes, other 
men were sent out from Washington with nets and 
buckets. They gathered up the trout and carried 
them to the rivers above the falls; and now all the 
brooks and pools of the old lava-bed, the fairest 
streams in the world, are full of their natural 
inhabitants. 
And so to-day in the Gardiner, the Gibbon, the 
Nez Percé, and especially in Firehole River, and 
in the dark green depths of Shoshone Lake, 
one can find angling such as Izaak Walton never 
dreamed of. And it is now, more than ever before, 
“good luck for any man to be on the good side of 
the man that knows fish.”
