WESTCOLANG RAPIDS ABOVE THE FALLS. 



eddy below the falls. The canoe was half 

 full of water and it was a miracle that she 

 did not sink with us. We beached her and 

 turned out the water. 



Reddy, who in the meantime had come 

 up, delivered himself of the following: 



"Say, but that was tough ! You went 

 clear out of sight once, and I was scared 

 to death. Before you can try that trip 

 again I will smash the canoe." 



"Doctor, I have seen some bad pieces of 

 water in my time," said Cedar, as he sat 

 down on a stone, "but for a nasty place 



this is the worst. I have tried the Colum- 

 bia, the Snake, the Clearwater, the Rio 

 Grande, the Ohio and other big rivers, but 

 the Delaware seems to beat them all. 

 Rapids that look a great deal more difficult 

 than this piece of water are easily navi- 

 gated. The Delaware is deceitful. It is 

 clear and yet hides its stones ; it is swifter 

 and more powerful than it looks. Not one 

 man in 1.000 could swim out of that place. 

 When the Delaware is high have canoeing 

 alone." 



It is good advice.
