Paul an Indian being sworn saith

Last Friday I was coming down the Fraser River and I saw a body floating among the logs about 2 miles above the mouth of the Harrison River. I carried on down to the [illegible?] and told the man there. I went up with them and showed them where the body was. The body was lying in the water face downwards. The body had on a white shirt, his trousers and shoes. I saw nothing else about the body.
