Sta. #73. Dec. 5, 1925 . 
Same place snail from side of ferry made of three row boats side by each. 
Post was fifty or more feet from water's edge and 3 *^ feet above level. This 
a.m. water was to foot of post. Crab caught on bait and hook. He said water 
was fresh, but that he had drowned crabs in bucket of fresh water. He didn't 
say drownedj he said they died of cold in can of fresh water and pressing 
question about fresh vs. salt water in stream he said sometimes bx soap would 
? ' , ' •' ; work for washerwomen and that at times of (high?) 
flood in ocean salt water came up. However, l/2 mile below town crabs were 
in great number. Aeglea is the usual crab here, the grapsoids being rare. 
He was trying to get f.w. fish yesterday and didn't catch a one, just the 
grapsoids. Thomsen thinks f.w. in flooding of river rushing down channel 
pushed salt water to sides where man xha was fishing with hook, line, and bamboo 
pole. No doubt people here ought to watch tide. They notice rise and fall 
of water but seem to wash and fish without reference to it. If they watched 
tides and fished and washed on ebb they would have better luck. No salt fish here 
so far as we know. Saw seine.
