An archer must always, perforce, study animate nature and learn its ways before he can capture it. In our early training with Ishi, the Indian, he taught us to look before he taught us to shoot. "Little bit walk, too much look," was his motto. The roving eye and the light step are the signs of the forest voyageur.
Neatness about his tackle, care of his equipment, deliberation and form in his shooting were typical of him; in fact, he loved his bow as he did no other of his possessions. It was his constant companion in life and he took it with him on his last long journey. Our experience with Ishi waked the love of archery in us, that impulse which lies dormant in the heart of every Anglo-Saxon.
In the prospect of her permanent stay with me, I found great joy. Her high spirits found expression in her work. Her love of excitement fed on encounters with Ishi and in teasing Jane. One afternoon she locked the old gardener up in a tea-house till he apologized for some disrespect. She detained him till intense fear of the coming darkness induced him to submit.
