The fish were coming up the river.  A kind of platform had been built over the water.  On this platform the Indians stood one at a time, and dipped a net into the water for fish.  All day and all night somebody was dipping the net.

The Indians had never seen a white man before.  They were very much amused to see white faces, and one of the white men who had red hair was a wonder to them.

Allen and his men got food here.  Then they built a skin canoe, and started down the river.  After many more hardships and dangers, they reached the ocean, and then took ship for California.
