A heavy fail of snow in Scotland
a few weeks ago caused the river
to rise suddenly. One of the
big dams in the stream overflowed,
with the result that the salmon
in the numerous pools at once
made a rush to pet higher up the
stream. A workman engaged in
caning from the bed of the
river wan astonished at the moving
mass of salmon passing. So
the shoal that the
carter deemed it wise to stop his
charge in the middle of the ford to
allow the fish to pass. The salmon
swam like lightning through the
wheels of the- cart and around
horse's legs. In the space of a few
minutes several hundred passed this
particular point.
