"But that's where I come in. The Red Cross sends supply trains to keep them at it.... I'm going to Russia if I can work it." "But what about the Sorbonne?" "The Sorbonne can go to Ballyhack." "But, Henny, I'm going to croak on your hands if you don't take me somewhere to get some food." "Do you want a solemn place with red plush or with salmon pink brocade?" "Why have a solemn place at all?"
We reached Portland, California and I crying for salmon, and a real-estate man, to whom we had been intrusted by an insurance man, met us in the street, saying that fifteen miles away, across country, we should come upon a place called Clackamas, where we might perchance find what we desired.

Timber from which canoes could be made, there was none, and the rapids in the rivers were sharp and violent.

You see, the salmon run in regular definite courses, year after year, just as if they were following a beaten track. At certain places these courses come close to the shore where conditions make it possible to drive piling and build traps which intercept them by the million.
"You don't seriously mean you go on the trail without any alcohol?" asks the Colonel. "No, I don't go without, but I keep it on the outside of me, unless I have an accident." Salmon P. studied the trader with curiosity.
"But I'm the busiest thing afloat right now. See you later." "Nerve," Horace Gower muttered under his breath. "Not if we see you first," Nelly Abbott retorted. "It's not likely you will," MacRae laughed. He turned back to his work. The fisherman alongside was tall and surly looking, a leathery-faced individual with a marked scowl. He heaved half a dozen salmon up on the Blackbird.
