taken, this being the first opportunity for securing anything that 

 resembled satisfactory refreshments according to the visitors' idea. 



From Lewiston back was one of the most interesting features of 

 the whole trip, a journey along the American side of the gorge, the 

 cars passing within fifteen or twenty feet of the water all the way 

 up, past the Whirlpool Rapids and the seething, twisting, frantic 

 waters in the gorge itself. The spectacle presented along that route 

 is to the first-time observer appalling. The thought that a human 

 being, no matter how powerful or skillful as a swimmer, would have 

 the temerity to consider himself capable of conquering these stu- 

 pendous forces of water, seemed to the excursionists unbelievable. 

 One could scarcely believe that Captain Webb actually attempted to 

 accomplish that feat, which he did way back in 1883, losing his life 

 almost instantly. 



The cars finally completed their tour of the gorge route, climbing 



the incline back up to the Niagara Falls with the diminished power, 

 recrossed the international bridge and eventually came to a halt 

 again at the New Clifton hotel, where the guests disembarked for a 

 most excellent and enjoyable dinner. The big dining room at the 

 hotel was well filled with enthusiastic and exuberant lumbermen vrith 

 a fair sprinkling of the wives of various members and their families. 



The gaiety continued up to about 9:30 when it was annoimced 

 that the cars were ready to carry the guests back to Buffalo, and 

 when they eventually pulled in at the Hotel Statler all announced 

 themselves as satiated with enjoyment but thoroughly tired out. 



The trip will long be remembered by all as successful down to the 

 minutest detail, and a distinctly soft spot will be maintained in the 

 heart of everyone who was fortunate enough to participate for the 

 Buffalo lumbermen.
