John Louis Emil Dreyer (13 February 1852 – 14 September 1926), also Johan Ludvig Emil Dreyer, was a Danish astronomer who spent most of his career working in Ireland. He spent the last decade of his life in Oxford, England.
It was 9 P.M. before we reached our camp on Vashon’s Island12. The Narrows were quite alive with Indians fishing for small fish and salmon. They trolled for the salmon and caught the small fish with a species of rake, composed of sharp nails set like teeth into a paddle. This instrument served at once to direct the canoe, and in cutting into the water to pass through shoals of small fish, transfixing them to the nails. It was then brought against the side of the boat behind the fisherman with a jar, so as to loosen the catch and prepare for another load. We purchased fish and clams from the Indians for our table.
