CAMPING AT CULVER'S LAKE. 



21 



toward the bow of the boat to grasp the 

 pole, the boat went backward. The pole 

 was 4 or 5 feet away and he could not 

 reach it, so he sat down and used his 

 hands as paddles. At last he was near 

 enough to get hold of the pole, and the 

 sport began. 



With one grand effort he tried to lift 

 that fish from the water, but could not 

 do it. The pole bent as if it was fast 

 to a "rock fish." He got hold of the 

 line and started to pull in as if he had 

 hold of the anchor rope. As a result, we 

 all had one more view of the bass, as he 

 broke the snell, which was a wire one, 

 for pickerel. The fish landed on the side 

 of the boat and flopped back into the 

 water. It was over 4 pounds if it was an 

 ounce. Talk about the air being blue ! 

 Then some one said: 



"Forget it." 



Within 10 minutes every one had on a 



storm coat and was out on the lake after 

 that fish, but there was nothing doing. 



The view to be obtained at Culver's, 

 from the top of the mountain on the 

 Northwest, is beautiful. New York, Penn- 

 sylvania and New Jersey can be seen dis- 

 tinctly. To the right is Lake Owassa, 

 and the road winding through the trees 

 like a long silver thread. On the other 

 side of the mountain is the remains of 

 another lake, now only a small pond, 

 while in the distance is the hill that forms 

 the Jersey side of the Delaware. 



The walk to the mountain is popular, 

 and parties go up every day, rowing to the 

 landing on the other side of the lake near 

 the inlet, walking back to the main road 

 past 2 of the best springs in the State, 

 whose water is only 2 degrees colder in the 

 winter than in the summer, and then taking 

 the path up the side of the mountain. The 

 view is well worth the climb.
