Upon his return-l.p eoioimfiy approached the r.‘ vc", took the first salmon of the catch, ate some of it and with the remainder lighted a sacrificial fire.- The same Indians laboriously' climbed to the mountain'top after the poles for the spearing booth, being convinced that if they were gathered where the salmon were watching no fish would be caught.- c Very widespread, in-fact,, is this, native belief of the ■ necessity of caution whenever Adam Is on fish­ ing bent.
