9294. Mr. Henderson's shop is not very far from where you live?-It is not very far.
9295. Would it not be handier for you to get your goods there?- We don't run very large accounts with him. I might get my goods from him if I was fishing for him, but when I am not putting any fish or any produce his way I don't ask anything.
9296. Could you not get the money for your fish, and buy your goods where it was most convenient for you?-We might.
9297. Did you never think of doing that?-No.
9298. Why?-I don't know.
9299. Do you think Mr. Henderson will charge higher prices from those who do not fish for him?-I cannot say.
9300. You never were afraid of that?-No.
