by a lumberjack on a log during the spring freshet, the 
man being under the influence of some "Nova Scotia 
Lightning" at the time, which accounted for the fool- 
hardiness of the feat. 
Below the dam was the usual stretch of foaming rapids 
shut in by high, steep banks. The Scribe, working his 
way slowly down the rough timbering of the down- 
stream face of the dam to cast over the pool below, dis- 
covered one of the dry, half-rotted logs smouldering, and 
probably saved the entire structure by improvising a 
bucket from his old Khaki hat. The wood had probably 
ignited spontaneously from the concentrated heat of the 
sun, as no other cause could be found.

Our opening shoot on the new Cranston range Memorial Day 
was well attended, and some good scores were made. 
The members and visitors present expressed themselves as 
highly pleased with the new shooting house and location. The 
greater parf of the day was spent by the boys sightmg in their 
various arms for the 50yd. targets and trying the ditlerent 
weapons brought out. Riflemen shot revolvers and pistols and 
vice versa. A. B. Coulters put in most of his spare time with 
his Ivrag at 200yds., and after getting sighted in with a special 
load made three good forties. The following scores were recorded: 
Pistol, 50yds.: Walter H. Freeman, 89, 94, 94, 89, 92—458: VVm. 
Almy, 87, 87, 89, 91, 86-440; Wm. Bosworth, 85, 81, 87, 88, 86, 82,

85, 93. 
The boys are taking to the new range and 50yd. work like 
ducks to water. Our second shoot, Saturday, June 3, was pro- 
ductive of much encouragement on the part of some of the 
members. 
Walter H. Freeman carried off the honors for the day for 
pistol shooting and was in splendid form. The first six shots 
of his second string showed tens, and we all hoped to see him 
plant the remaining shots in the coveted circle. The strain was 
too much, however, but he made the excellent score of 95. His 
100-shot total of 914 was a good starting record for our range. 
The revolver trio, which is trying to bring on a match with the 
State military champions, did a little practice, scoring on the 
Creedmoor target, such as used at the State range, and found 
they could hang pretty close to what is considered good work 
among the militiamen. 
Major Eddy's 90 (Standard) was a clean score of bulls, as was 
also Hurlburt's 88. The latter, however, dropped into the seven- 
ties and, becoming disgusted, turned his officers' model and re- 
rnaining cartridges over to Freeman, who, without changing the 
sights, shot for group and made one which, had the elevation 
been correct, would cout out a 97. 
Saturday was Argus' second trial at 50yd. shooting, and we con- 
sider he did good average work, with scores near the 80 mark. 
Several visitors were present and enjoyed a little rifle practice. 
The following scores were recorded previous to the regular 
Saturday afternoon shoot:. 
Pistol, 50yds.: Walter H. Freeman, 93, 91, 93, 89, 94; William 
Almy, 91, 90, 88, 85, 87, 86, 82. 
Rifle 50yds.: H. Powell, 87, 84, 80; F. A. Coggeshall, 84.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The programme of the Warwick, N. Y., Gun Club next monthly 
shoot, June 16, has nine events, at 10, 15 and 20 targets, 75 cents, 
$1 and $1.50 entrance. Shooting begins at 1 o'clock. 
to dry everything out. The sleeping bags weighed about 
half a ton each, being thoroughly soaked with water, and 
the rest of the equipment that was saved was also drench- 
ed. The Mic-Mac's crew were in favor of going ahead, 
and making no stops until we reached Milton, since" our 
time was hourly growing shorter and we did not know 
what we would encounter in the way of difficulties before 
we reached the pulp mill. In spite of this Charles de- 
clined to stop, under protest from the other boat which 
continued on down stream. The current had disappeared 
by this time, as we were evidently approaching another 
dam. After about a half hour's hard work, steady paddling 
through deep water, the river getting wider and wider, 
we rounded a broad sweep, and came in sight of a new 
dam across the stream. We ran down to the left hand 
side of this obstruction, a strong wind astern, and pulled 
our canoe ashore in a little sheltered cove. We were 
under some misgivings as to the wisdom of allowing the 
party to split up in this way, as we were still ignorant of 
the distance that remained before we reached the pulp 
mill — in fact, we did not know whether this might not be 
the pulp mill dam that Louis had told us about. We made 
up our minds to explore the country and see whether this 
was the case, so Arthur went down stream along the 
shore, and the Scribe struck back through the woods on 
a path which led to a lumbering road, which in turn 
turned and twisted for about half a mile and then ran 
off into a flooded district, evidently caused by recent 
rains. The Scribe explored it this far at a rapid pace, 
and upon retracing his steps ran across two natives — 
stalwart young lumbermen, who gave him the desired in- 
forrnation about the lay of the land. He learned from 
them that the pulp mill was not more than a couple of 
miles below, and that we would have trouble getting down 
through the rapids below the dam, where our boat was 
now lying, as they were long and very rough. Also there 
were numerous log booms obstructing the open water 
above the pulp mill dam, and we would have trouble pass- 
ing these. H. N. T. then raced back to the boat, calling 
for Arthur to return. Upon his arrival, reporting "noth- 
ing doing" down stream as far as he had gone, except two 
or three houses in the distance, we unloaded the canoe and 
shacked everything over the dam to a comparatively quiet 
eddy below. We then wrote a hasty note to the others 
and set it up on a piece of stick so as to attract their at- 
tention if they should go down that side of the river'and 
cross the dam as we did. We told them that the train 
left at 3 o'clock that afternoon for Liverpool, and, as it 
was getting nigh on toward i o'clock, their time was 
very short. 
We then re-embarked below the dam, not at all keen 
for the stretch of white water as far as we could see 
down stream — probably as stiff a proposition as we had 
yet been up against, excepting Big River Falls. More- 
over, both of us were wet and hungry, and well tired by 
the morning's work. In spke of all this, however, we 
came through famously, working the canoe slowly down 
the rapid current, and skillfully avoiding the sunken rocks 
and the swiftest water. The mate used the snubbing-pole 
nearly all the way through, quick changes being necessary 
from one side of the boat to the other, and at times one 
end of the pole would be used as a brake by pressing it 
heavily against the bottom of the stream. Our recollec- 
tion was that the boat did not touch a rock all the way 
through this stretch of rapids, and when the foot was 
finally reached, both parties blowing hard from the violent 
'exercise, a brief mutual admiration society meeting was 
held on the spot in honor of the skill that had brought 
us safely through. 
Still, deep water was now encountered, with submerged 
forests along the banks of the river, showing that we 
were in the neighborhood of another dam. Floating logs 
were also lodged around, and numbers of them were lying 
partly water-logged, with one end projecting just above 
the surface in the manner we had noticed them during 
the past two days. Going around another bend we came 
in view of the edge of the dam in the distance, and as we 
had been told, a number of log booms stretched across 
the surface of the water, and anchored at certain points 
to large cribs made of a number of poles driven into the 
bed of the stream, and fastened together. These booms 
were simply huge logs joined together end to end with 
chains and were rather difficult to cross with a heavily 
loaded canoe. We found it the easiest plan to run up 
close to one of the cribs and then haul the canoe over by 
main strength across the floating log. We did this three 
or four times, and finally gained the breast of the dam. 
We tossed our duffle out upon the footpath and pro- 
ceeded on foot to explore again. A canal, which we found 
to be the waterpower for the pulp mill, opened from one 
end of the dam and disappeared around a bend. We 
followed along this, and soon came in sight of the mill, 
with a settlement of small houses around it, the whole 
set in a beautiful bit of scenery with high mills all around 
and a small brook v^'inding around the rocks down the 
valley. We retraced our steps to the dam and again car- 
ried our boat and duffle over into the waterpower canal, 
paddling down, to the end of it, where the siding or the 
tramway was located. Here we took the Mic-Mac out of 
the water for -the last time and piled everything on shore 
ready to load on the flat car, which left about an hour 
later for Liverpool. 
By this time we were getting anxious about the rest of 
the party, as we had taken quite a good deal of time ex- 
ploring and talking with the natives at the pulp mill. The 
Scribe had also tried the fishing below the pulp mill dam, 
which was the most spectacular of any that we had pass- 
ed so far ; very high, with a great head of water going 
over it everywhere. It raised a noise that was audible 
for a long distance away. A tremendous volume of water 
rushed over the central chute, which was built out on an 
inclined plane to admit of the largest logs being carried 
over. This water piled up at the foot of the drop into a 
fifteen -foot wave, and then a series of smaller ones like 
the wake of a steamboat, the mist from the turmoil ris- 
ing in a thin cloud and whirling down stream in the 
strong wind that was blowing. We made our way out on 
the dam across a series of narrow sirigle-plank bridges, 
clutching every available support to prevent losing our 
balance in the force of the gale and the stunning thunder 
of the falling water. Smoking was hardly worth while 
as the wind whipped the smoke out of one's very teeth, 
and our heads fairly ached from the tightly jammed hat- 
bands about our ears. We learned later from a lumber- 
man at the pulp mill that the central flume had been run
