She told me she was seeking the spawning-beds above, and I, as youth ever does, felt an instinctive love and veneration for one so much older and grander than myself. She told me of the dangers she had escaped, almost by a miracle, the year before ; how, after being twice all but taken in the drag-nets, from which I had just escaped, she had entered the river; how for some miles as she ascended, when her back or that of her larger companion was seen above the surface of the shallow water, there... had been a cry of ' Fash ! Fash ! ' and then a net had been hastily dragged across her path, whilst another was stretched below to prevent her return ; how men with loud shouts or splash- ings of the water had driven the devoted fish into the toils before them ; how at each pro- jecting rock, forming still water where the struggling fish might rest, a net was placed ; * * These nets are now prohibited by law. 34 AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF how the deep pools affording a more permanent harbour were dragged ; and how, when at last the shallow spawning-beds were attained, many of her race were c gaffed ' for the sake of the spawn within them.
