.Burrard Inlet was a great home for serpents. When I was a little boy, the old people used to see them . little serpents . just like a snake floating. A big one had his pillow, a big stone on the beach just west of Brockton Point Light, and his other head . they have two heads, one at each end . used to rest by the racing canoes just in front of the Indian church at North Vancouver; the old people used to see him in the tide rip; there were little ones too. The last one, not the serpent killed by Qoitchetahl (Chief Andrew Paull‘s ancestor) up the Squamish River, but another one, was killed by a powerful man up above Dollarton, North Arm [Indian Arm], Burrard Inlet, in front of the B.C. Electric power station, where the water comes down from Lake Beautiful (Buntzen Lake); the paint put by the Indians on the rocks [pictographs] on the opposite shore is there yet, I think. One hundred and fifty years ago there were lots of serpents

in
Burrard Inlet..
