/*"I was most fortunate in finding the chief, whom I had met at Elaawho,
at the mouth of the river, and he took me up in his canoe most
willingly. I then found that the river had two mouths, and that through
the western and larger one stern-wheel steamers might pass and ascend
for several miles.... The chief, who had been several times on the
Fraser, confirmed, saying that "Boston steamers" could go up his river."*/**
