" After the stop-net was set the lake was swept by a drag-net, hauled by men in two boats, one at each end. As it approached the stop-net and the ends met, the fish were imprisoned, and there was a tremendous dash- ing in the water. The men sometimes became as excited as the fish, AN UNRULY OX. 135 though in a different way; but the most of the party had their wits about them and did not lose their heads and the fish. As mauy as four hun- dred fishes were taken in this way at a single swoop, an...d some of them weighed forty or fifty pounds. These big fellows were baggera, and some- times they were almost the only fish that were caught. " The same care was observed as on the first day's march to prevent the straying of the cattle and the dispersal of the column. There w-is some trouble with the animals early in the afternoon, on account of the persistence of a portion of the herd in trying to turn back to Gon- dokoro. One of the largest of the herd lost his temper and made a furious charge at the column of porters.
