FOREST AND STREAM. 



[May 19, 1887. 



grasses of the swamps, their spring-time green changed to the 

 yellow of approaching decay, the old, the doad and dying trees 

 plentifully sprinkled along our route, each outstretched arm hung 

 with a long fringe of moss draped as it were in the habiliments of 

 death, the Yiyer itself our only friend, ever binding itself in the 

 constant turns it makes through this apparently interminable 

 river bottom. Yet here were, the historic lands of the Indian. 

 These silent waters on which we floated were once cleft by the 

 canoes of the Narragansetts. 



The surrounding country was once the happy home and hunting 

 grounds of Canonicns and his braves. On our left and right were 

 the closing scenes of King Phillip's war enacted; scenes of unre- 

 corded valor; scenes of individual privation mid endurance on 

 that cold Dccemher day which witnessed the close of the red 

 man's power in Rhode Island. 



Silently we noddled along the miles of this tortuous stream 

 until the never varying scenery began to tire the eye and the dis- 

 tant trees to east long shadows. 



The splash of an occasional muskrat would sometimes break 

 the quiet and twice the sudden rise and flight of ducks startled 

 us into something like excitement. The trees at last seemed to 

 part and presently through the vista of their opening we saw the 

 glimmering bosom of the great pond of Rhode Island. Grass 

 Pond, or Worden's Pond, as ft is called on the map, has an area of 

 about 1,000 acres. Great Swamp surrounds the greater part of 

 this lake, very little high land reaching the water, therefore as 

 might be supposed it is a very shallow sheet for most of its area, 

 the depth in no part of the two miles which we passed over ex- 

 ceeds 2ft. and in many places, some distance from the shore, so 

 shallow that the cre w had to wade. Much of it iB thickly grown 

 with rushes and seemed like good ground for ducks, although we 

 found none. The contour of tho shore la very irregular, several 

 points of land reaching far out into the lake. On one of t hese, which 

 Seemed of more solid ground than aomo of the others a nd more- 

 over having a good growth of hardwood, we selected a spot on the 

 dry sand and proceeded to start a fire, put up our shanty tent and 

 generally prepare for the night. We had spun out a long day 

 without a stop and should have pitched our tent earlier; however, 

 by 6 o'clock we had had a good supper, our tent was up, our bed 

 made and the blankets spread for the night. 



The moon was just lighting the woods with soft, mellow light as 

 the crew set out to forage for a proper supply of wood for our 

 camp-fire. Letting down a couple of beech trees six or eight 

 inches in diameter we dragged them to camp, cut them in proper 

 lengths, and soon had a nice camp-fire burning brightly within 

 three or four feet of the front of the shanty. Filling the dudeen 

 for auother smoke, we squatted on some convenient rocks watch- 

 ing the flickering lire as the flames curled in fantastic shapes in 

 and around the closely piled wood. Weird sounds come from the 

 woods, Bounds which in daylight would be passed unnoticed. The 

 rustling of the little field mouse in the leaves behind our shanty 

 sounded to our strained hearing like the movements of larger 

 game. We even fancied we could hear the flapping of an army of 

 ducks as they settled in the lake. Could we have but heard the 

 mournful cry of a loon coming across its moon-light surface we 

 should indeed have fancied ourselves in the wilds of the north. 

 As the tobacco burned low in the heels of the pipes we laid them one 

 side and turned in, soon to fall asleep— that deep refreshing sleep 

 which seems to come to a man in the woods more than elsewhere, 

 in the small hours of the night the skipper turned out, replenished 

 the fire and rejoined his fellow snorer to awaken again as the com- 

 ing dawn tinted the eastern sky. 



We made a quick breakfast of coffee, bacon and hard bread, 

 made up our pack and got away before the sun had much more 

 than shown its lower limb above the eastern hills. Not a breath 

 of air stirred the face of the waters, and no sound marred the 

 surrounding stillness save perhaps the dip of the paddle or the 

 rughing of the canoe as it ever and anon glided through some 

 patch of rushes. The temperature was just right— cool, crisp and 

 invigorating— indeed, it was a morning to be enjoyed. The gun 

 was held in readiness for any unwary duck which might be found 

 feediug along our route. A mile or more was thus delighfully 

 passed, no duck rewarding our vigilance, yet feeling well repaid 

 that we were even permitted to be there. We presently began to 

 pay mere attention to the contour and appearance of the northern 

 and western coast line, seeking to discover, if possible, the outlet 

 by which we were to leave the lake and continue our cruise. 



More by good luck than sagacity, for each new cove looked like 

 Its predecessor, the skipper pointed the nose of the canoe into the 

 right cornei' and presently we entered the stream, which proved 

 to oe of good depth, narrow, and with a well-defined channel; but, 

 oh! so crooked. I should think a proportion of four to one would 

 be small in comparing the distance we paddled to the distance in 

 a straight line from our entrance to our exit from the swamp 

 through which it flowed. 



This swamp might well be called impenetrable. It is a labyrinth 

 of old trees, maples and oaks, with a thick underbrush of bull- 

 briers and blackberry vines. A complete system of grape vines 

 connects the whole. 



The "nimrod" tried to make an excursion to where he thought 

 he saw a gray squirrel whisk his tail, but soon returned with torn 

 clothes and bleeding hands and gave up the job. 



Four hours of pretty fair work carried us clear of the swamp 

 and brought us to Kenyon's mills and the second carry. A mile 

 beyond we ran into the first swift water we had seen, and in about 

 three minutes the skipper managed to land the canoe about high 

 and drv on a. sunken rock. We shook her somewhat gently a few 

 times, when she gradually slid off and we proceeded on our some- 

 what boisterous way. These rapids led into the milldamat Sham- 

 rock or Clark's mills, where the third carry was encountered. 



Rapids met us below the dam, but presented no difficulties. 

 Half a mile further we came upon the ruins of Shamrock Mills; 

 the dam, however, was in good order, and necessitated a carry 

 along the rocky, precipitous bank on the left. No immediate ob- 

 structions were known to be in the advance, so wo took advantage 

 of the tranquillity of the slowly-moving river to solace ourselves 

 with a bite of t old lunch. 



The milldam at Carolina Mills caused the fifth carry. We 

 landed as usual on the left bank and made a comfortable portage 

 to the rapid water below. Here our little eraft. attracted some 

 attention, and wc rather divided the interest of the villagers with 

 an itinerant photographer who was just entering the village as 

 the Skipper, with I he canoe on his head, crossed the road. One 

 old reside nter inquired "where that pilgrim with his house on his 

 head was going." 



Below the dam and abreast the mill we found the most rapid 

 water of the cruise ; great black angular rocks stuck up in many 

 places along the stream, seemingly placed purposely to wreck the 

 unwary of unskillful cruiser. The channel as seen from the bank 

 seemed very narrow, twisting and turning as the aforementioned 

 rocks directed to the right or left. It was not without some 

 Trepidation that the Skipper took his position in the stern and 

 made ready for a start. The "gals and fellers" stood at the mill 

 windows and along the river walls, evidently ready to smile 

 audibly If the Skipper took a dip. The passage was, however, 

 happily made, and we continued on the way, believing that the 

 last; swift water and portage was passed. Four P. M. found us in 

 the vicinity of Wood River Junction depot, where we telegraphed 

 a friend in Providence, who was to join us on 1 he morrow. 



As we reimbarked, the sky which for some time had been quite 

 clo idy, became portentous of some immediate wetness. We hur- 

 ried on, ever on the lookout for a suitable place to camp, the rain 

 in straggling, intermittent drippings overtaking us. Low, swampy 

 land formed the. banks if much of this portion of the river, offer- 

 ing no inducements for a pleasant camp. Two miles from the 

 Junction Wood River joins the Charles, and here, just as night 

 was overtaking us and the rain had seen fit to cease its melan- 

 choly drippings, we found a desirable spot on the left bank of 

 Wood River, where level, dry land came to the river's edge, and 

 drew out the canoe and prepared to camp. 



So tired were we with our long day's cruise and fast that only 

 the most necessary work was done. The tent was set up in its 

 crudest form. A cup of tea, some boiled potatoes and a bite of 

 hardtack made our supper, and we turned in without the. precau- 

 tion of collecting wood, or even building more than the most 

 temporary of night fires. About 11 we awoke shivering with the 

 cold. The moon had dispelled the clouds of the early evening. 

 The temperature which had prevailed when we turned in had 

 lowered a number of degrees, and the air was nipping cold. Water 

 left in the kettle where the potatoes were boiled was froaen nearly 

 solid. A skurry for wood resulted in the lucky finding of a suffi- 

 cient quantity of drift cord wood lodged in the fringe of bushes 

 along the river's bank, brought down by the great freshet of Feb- 

 ruary, 1880. In a very short time a blazing lire was sending its 

 geniaT.wannth into the furthermost corner of our snug little tent. 

 Thoroughly warmed by our exercise in gathering the wood and 

 by the fire, we again turned in. 



Three o'clock found us up with our breakfast fairly under way 

 for we had to make an early start in order to meet our expected 

 friend on the morning train. Our bill of fare this morning con- 

 sisted of boiled potatoes, hot Johuny cakes, broiled partridge and 

 quail and hot coffee. It Is perhaps needless to say we made a 

 hearty breakfast. As soon as it. was light enough to see our way 

 up the river we started. A pleasant paddle of a mile landed us at 

 the little mill village of PlainviUe, wnere the crew left to meet 

 our friend at the depot, while the skipper started inland to lind 

 transportation to a proper spot for a more favorable camp. 



The cruise proper of the canoe may be said to have here ended, 

 although on t he arri val of the others we did paddle a mile or more 

 up stream to a point where wo loaded everything into an ox 

 wagon and were carried two or three miles into the back country. 



The crew came to the front, took charge of the erection 

 of the tent in manner and form as prescribed by "Ness- 

 muk." The skipper took charge of the kitchen, and while the 

 tent was being set up, prepared dinner for three. 



Thursday — day and night was pleasant, all that could be desired 

 even. Friday, which was to be the last of our camping, we designed 

 to erect an ideal— a perfect camp-fire— which was to illuminate 

 the night, warm the tent, and to burn long and slow, yet sure. 

 Alas ! for the best laid plans, etc. The morning dawned with every 

 prospect of rain, and by evening the prophesy of the morn had be- 

 come a fact. The wind changed from northwest to southeast, and 

 blew almost directly Into the tent, gradually increasing in violence 

 as the hours passed by, the rain meanwhile falling very fast. 

 Under such circumstances it was difficult to start the fire; how- 

 ever, it was at last accomplished, and we crawled into the blanket 

 bags. Albeit we were a little moist in spots, we slept as tired men 

 can sleep, turning out occasionally to replenish the tire as it burned 

 low, again ret iring for another nap or to listen to falling waters or 

 to the roar of the blast as it tore around the tent, threatening to 

 take it bodily from the ground. Between three and four o'clock, 

 during one of our intermittent seasons of wakefulness, we dis- 

 covered that the storm had ceased to he of an ordinary character, 

 and that its velocity had become that of a gale, and rain was falling 

 in torrents. 



The tire still .burned, but sleep was a living of the past, and was 

 no companion for the present status of the storm. As we sat or 

 lay, seeking a little solace from the old "dudeen," wondering 

 whether the fire would continue to burn or give, up the struggle; 

 whether we should long have a roof over our beads or not, there 

 came a blast from old Boreas lustier than all the rest, and the query 

 was answered, for the north side of the tent resigned its perpendi- 

 cular, and now laid out nearly horizontal, flapping and snapping 

 with the fury of the gale. 



We managed after a little to draw it back to its proper place 

 and to effect a partial fastening. Meanwhile the gale, as if the 

 blast which wrecked the tent ha d been its climax, had sensibly re- 

 duced its force and the rain become light and fine. As the rain 

 fell off and finally ceased, the fire burned brighter and better; we 

 gathered around it, warmed, cheered and dried ourselves, made 

 and drank a cup of hot coffee— 'twas all the stimulant We had, 

 'twas all we needed— and finally concluded that the night hadn't 

 been as bad as we imagined, and we reall y felt pleased that wc had 

 staved in the tent and not emigrated to a neighboring barn, as 

 had been suggested. 



As daylight began to whiten the sky, wc started the breakfast, 

 shook out the blankets and placed them where they would dry, 

 looseued the sides of the tent so the wind would draw through 

 and dry that, picked up the loose and stray duffle, and so far as 

 could be got things ready for the. final packing. 



The kitchen service, meanwhile, had been progressing rapidly, 

 and the breakfast was soon ready— and was eaten with as good an 

 appetite as if the previous night had known no rain and had been 

 visit ed but by the gentle zephyrs of a perfect summer's nigiit. By 

 the time our friend with the ox wagon came lumbering over the 

 hills, the duffle was dried and packed ready for transportation. 

 Although but a short time had been passed amid the scenes we 

 were about to leave. It was with regret that we bid them farewell. 

 It was separating the last tie which bound us to the wild wood 

 life; it was the end of the vacation; it meant our return to the 

 haunts of men where quiet never reigns, where the eye forever 

 rests on brick and granite, where the air which one breathes is 

 dirty, smoky and laden with a thousand obnoxious smells; a re- 

 turn to the monotonous routine of business, necessary, no doubt, 

 yet none the. less disagreeable. There was one spark of cheer in 

 the gloom of the parting. We might come again. With this 

 thought we even, as man ever does, began to plan for the future. 

 Thus the regrets were softened by the schemes of another trip. 



'fen o'clock found us again in Plain ville, where two of us de- 

 cided to once more launch the canoe and paddle up to the station, 

 while the crew went on with the luggage bv ox power. It was a 

 delightful paddle that the skipper and his friend had— more pleas- 

 ant perhaps because of the two days' rest and that it would be the 

 last for six months. One duck we started ere we had long been 

 afloat, but he got off sound; we made ready to give him a warm 

 reception should he lie in our path again. 



Hugging closely the right bank of the stream, the Skipper , 

 silently paddled along; many bends we rounded without reward. 

 Finally as the canoe noiselessly sped around a turn particularly 

 short and sharp we almost ran on to her duekship and killed her 

 before her wings had more than left the water. The Skipper 

 doubted the shot striking the bird and rather held that he had 

 killed it with the bows of the cauoe. A close investigation, how- 

 ever, revealed the marks of a few shot, so the Skipper gave up the 

 claim. 



Too late for the morning train was the word the crew gave as 

 he met us at the landing. We pulled out, interviewed the baggage 

 master, weighed the canoe and checked the same with our duffle 

 for home. The waiting hours were spent in the adjacent fields 

 hunting quail, where, some limited success attended our efforts. 

 Four o'clock found us on the train for Providence and home. 



All through this little State are a number of trips of like char- 

 acter to be enjoyed. The Pawtuxet, with its two branches, is a 

 river open to canoe travel for quite a number of miles. Its head- 

 waters are easy of access, I am sure a week could be well spent 

 on this trip. 



Queens River, the headwaters of Usquefang, Charles and Paw- 

 catnk, as the river is known in the different, stages of its journey 

 to the Sound, will float a canoe from Fisherville, near the center 

 of the State, to Westerly. 



If this artice be the means of interesting other persons in canoe- 

 ing here at home, then the writer will feel that his object has in a 

 great measure been attained. Rhody. 



BROOKLYN C. C, CHALLENGE CUP. 



r piIIS event came off Saturday afternoon, May 14, as announced. 

 JL The Regatta Committee fixed the course in conformity with 

 the conditions governing these races, to be a triangle, and chose 

 that formed by the buoy off Fifty-sixth street, from there in a 

 northeasterly direction to the first buoy off Thirty-ninth street, 

 then out to Channel Buoy No. 20, thence to the starting point off 

 the Atlantic Basin; distance about 8W miles. The wind was south- 

 erly, of sufficient force to give the tiny boats all they could do to 

 carry full sail, and with a promise of increasing force. 



Seven entries came to the starting buoy, and were as follows: 

 M. V. Brokay, Canoe 570 (holder of the cup); R. Blake, Kelpie 

 (challenger): 'J. F. Newman, Sunbeam; 11. C. Ward, Evangeline; 

 F. Bunnell, Niente; W. S. Harriman, Nettie; Wm. Whitloek, 

 Guenn. The starter and judge of the course were Messrs. Charles 

 Gould and It. O. Tucker; A. C. A. rules to govern, and race to be 

 called a t 4:30 P. M. 



Promptly at the appointed time the preparatory five minute 

 signal was'gi ven. The tide was ebb and the wind strong southerly, 

 which favored the waiting boats. The second blast of the horn 

 gave the boats one minute to approach the line, and when the 

 final startiug blast was given a beautiful start was had, the boats 

 crossing in the following order : Evangeline was first over almost 

 with the blast. He chose the in-shore course, hoping to cheat the 

 tide. He was closely followed by Commodore Newman. The 

 Guenn was third over, followed almost instantaneously by canoe 

 570. The Nettie, Kelpie and Niente crossed in this order, not 

 far behind, and the run for the first buoy saw few changes. Mr. 

 Ward's curious shaped leg of mutton obstinately remained in front, 

 very closely held by the Sunbeam, which even with a small rig 

 astonished all the contestants. 



The first buoy was rounded as follows: Evangeline, Sunbeam, 

 570 and Guenn "close together, Kelpie, Nettie and Niente following. 

 The gybe was successfully accomplished by all, and the reach 

 across the strong ebb tide in the channel and before the freshen- 

 ing breeze soon showed some changes. Sunbeam and Nettie here 

 dropped out, their owners not caring to take chances so early In 

 the season. Guenn before long showed in front, and Evangeline 

 and 570 alternately passed and repassed each other; each one gain- 

 ing in turn as he took his opponent's wind. Finally 570 established 

 a slight lead and the channel buoy was rounded by Guenn first, 

 570 second, Evangeline third, and Kelpie and Niente in the order 

 named. Bead beat to windward now commenced in quite rough 

 water, with a favoring tide against a strong afternoon southerly 

 •breeze, which gave t he small boats all they could stagger under, 



All the boats started on the port tack for a reach down the bay ; 

 Guenn momentarily increased her lead, 570 was first about and 

 stood in shore, and was soon followed by the others, acting on the 



at one time looked a sure winner, but the other boats, admirably 

 handled by their respective owners, and perhaps aided by her 

 being somewhat over-canvassed in the strong wind, finally passed 

 her almost on the last leg. 



The finishing flag was approached by all three boats together, 

 less than 200yds. separating the first and third, and each tearing 

 along under every stitch they could bear, The sight was a. beau- 



tiful one, and even the usually unappreclative captain of the 

 street department tugs was sufficiently impressed to stop his tow 

 and allow the leaders to cross his bows. Mr. Ward was the first 

 home and came tearing down toward the line, crossing it very 

 nearly to south; 10s. later the Guenn came home, following his 

 lead across the line, followed in SOs. by 570, who, uninfluenced by 

 the example of his competitors, but with that cool head which 

 distinguishes him, rounded the buoy correctly, leaving it to port 

 and walked away with the hard fought for cup. The other two 

 contestants finished as follows: Kelpie and Niente in the order 

 named. The time was 50m. and 10s., second boat 50m. 20s., third 

 boat 50m. 40s. 



A more perfect day, a larger and more enthusiastic entry, and 

 a more closely fought race, has never been the lot of the Brooklyn 

 Canoe Club. Nothing but the unfortunate mistake of the Evan- 

 geline at the finish marred the day. The cup lias been already 

 challenged for again, and will probably be sailed for in two weeks. 



The club visit in a body the Field and Marine Club on the 83d, 

 and other cruises are under discussion. Many will go to the 

 Shrewsbury on Decoration Day. 



MONTGOMERY SAILING CLUB.— Norrlstown, Pa., May 16.- 

 The third regatta of the Montgomery Sailing Club was held May 

 15. Course 5 miles, wind light from the south, making it a run to 

 the buoy and a beat. back. The start was made at 2 P. M.. the

THE HUDSON RIVER MEET.— Ncwburgh, May li.-Editor 

 Forest and Stream: Time is flying on apace, and ere many days 

 ha ve come and gone the blazing camp-fires the spring meet will 

 be the center of attraction to jolly canoeists. With us Sing Sing and 

 Decoration Day have become synonymous terms. We not, only 

 anticipate the pleasures of the cruise down— that is, some of us do 

 — but we want to see some of the old faces again. We want to see 

 those who made Plum Point a jolly camp in spite of hard stones. 

 We want to see those who indulged in the luxury of shadroe at 

 Kondout. We want to see (be jolly faces of many we met. at 

 Grindstone. We have friends in Brooklyn whom we would like 

 to see — in New York and Knickerbocker that would find hearty 

 welcome. And if we don't find some Turtles sunning themselves 

 we'll feel lost. Rondout— of course we expect to see them— and 

 Poughkeepsie, too. We also want to see a lot of new faces— from 

 Yonkers, from over in the Jerseys, from all along the line in fact, 

 even from Amsterdam— yes, we want you there, too. We know 

 we are going to have a good time, and we want a grand company 

 to join in the fun. That's what is wanted by the Dockrats. 



JACKSON C. C— Jackson, Mich., May 10— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: The annual election of the Jackson C. C. was held on May 

 9, t he officers being: Com., Sam B. Meftler; Vice-Corn., Chas. A. 

 Blair; Seo'y-Treas., John Helmer; Meas., Fred D. Welling; Mem- 

 ber Executive Com., Ralph B. Gould. There are now some twenty 

 canoes in the fleet and the club is in a flourishing condition. Your 

 correspondent from Muskegon claims that the .Muskegon C. C. 

 made the first cruise on Grand River. This is certainly a mistake. 

 For lour consecutive years the Jackson C. C. has cruised from 

 Jackson to Lansing, a distance of about 38 miles by rail but about 

 90 by river. Our innate modesty has kept us out of print hereto- 

 fore", but we will try to let you know more about us in the future.

 French, Northampton, Mass.— Wm. Mi < 'arter, Sec'y. 



THE REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION.— The committee 

 on the revision of the A. C. A. constitution met in New York on 

 Saturday and completed a draft of the proposed changes, which
