Sept. 6, 1913- 
FOREST AND STREAM 
319 
The water leaped over and swirled around 
the boulders, foaming and frothing, three feet 
higher than the normal height of the river, and 
on account of the recent heavy rains it was a 
sullen, deadly yellow that looked as vicious as 
anything on earth could look. There were two 
channels, one to the extreme right and the other 
to the left, and practically in the center of the 
stream, and Ed. and Jack took the center and 
ran it first. Pete and I followed, but took the 
safer channel to the right, and finally Henny 
and Charley came scooting down the middle 
after Jack and Ed. In the center it was neces¬ 
sary to shave a big rock on the left hand side 
and take a quick turn to avoid another, and then 
steady plugging to keep from being swept broad¬ 
side against a big girder while where Pete and 
I went we had to avoid the entrance to an 
immense factory flume, then squeeze between a 
nice boulder and the bulkhead of the bridge, 
and after then shoot at an easy angle to the 
left, avoiding a few girders and a bunch of 
tangled weeds, etc. Well, we launched our 
canoes and paddled right across the foot of the 
falls in the midst of the spray until almost in 
the center of the rapids, and then turned and 
started down. Ed. and Jack made it easily, like¬ 
wise Charley and Henshaw; Pete and I got 
through without any trouble at all, but for a 
moment our hearts were in our mouths, as we 
couldn't hold the canoe against the side rush of 
water into the flume, and thought we were going 
to smash against the corner wall, and then when 
we passed under the bridge, the current swept 
us on to what we thought was a mass of tangled 
ironwork, but which proved to be only a tangled 
mass of weeds. Jack and Ed. went back to do 
it a second time, just to satisfy themselves that 
they had gone through by skill and not luck, 
and as usual when you do a thing the second 
time, they were a little careless and shipped a 
boat full of water, but didn't go over. 
From there on the trip was extremely un¬ 
eventful, and the water became very smooth, al¬ 
though still running at a very fast clip. How¬ 
ever, after the exciting run of the day before 
and all that morning, it seemed that we were 
continually bucking the current except once in 
awhile, when the stream would narrow down 
between two ledges of rock, and then we would 
feel the current catch the canoe and sweep it 
along. We ran down to Mountain View where 
the summer colony is, and found the bungalows 
of several of the fellows’ friends, but naturally 
closed for the winter. We pulled out on the 
porch of one of the bungalows (the water was 
almost up to the level of all the porches) and 
as he was an A. C. A. man and well known to 
the fellows, except Pete and myself, we made 
ourselves at home on the porch to wait for the 
rain, which now began to come down in tor¬ 
rents, to stop. They began to tell how' nicely 
the inside was fitted up, and I got curious, and 
without saying anything to the rest of them I 
scouted around and found a back window that 
had a pane of glass broken and the hook re¬ 
moved. However, it had been nailed back into 
place, but that was a cinch. I got my knife 
out and removed two nails and then split the 
wood around the third, w'hich was a whopper 
of a big one, and finally had the window open, 
and went through and invited the fellows in. 
Well, you could have knock d them over with 
a feather, 1 ut we piled in and he’ped ourselves 
to lemon snaps, Uneeda biscuits and jam, which 
was all we could find in the place. As soon as 
the rain let up, we piled up to the Mountain 
View Station of the Erie and just had twenty- 
five minutes to change our clothes and lash the 
paddles and cushions in the canoe, take out the 
B/L for the canoes to go to Greenwood Lake 
for the next week's trip and hop on the train. 
Our duffle bags had been under water for 
about an hour on Saturday, when Pete and I 
went over, under and around that tree, but even 
then practically everything was dry except natu¬ 
rally the camera; however, the dampness only 
affected that, and I think only one or two of 
the pictures are spoiled. The old "deep sea 
going" Ingersoll watch with the patent dial that 
I carry stood the wetting to perfection, and 
never lost a second, although the dial was all 
yellow with the w y ater, and the piece of paper 
in the back, with my identification on it, was 
all wrinkled with the moisture. I had this old 
watch in my trouser pocket all the time I was 
swimming and exploring in that swamp.
