“THE NEWLYWEDS.” 
getting through a passage about two feet high 
we were forced to climb another hill—San Juan 
Hill. At the top was the entrance to the Royal 
Rotunda. This was a round chamber which con¬ 
tained in the! center a huge pillar which seemed 
to support the roof a hundred feet above. More 
walking up and down, slipping, sliding along and 
we reached the Ballroom, a chamber well named. 
It is at least a hundreds yards long and about 
thirty wide. The floor is smooth. In the center 
of one side wall, just where an architect would 
place it, was the Musician’s Balcony. I thought 
this was the most beautiful formation of all. 
There were other curious shapes wrought by the 
falling water. I recollect the head of a New¬ 
foundland dog which was almost perfect. There 
was also a statue of the Virgin Mother which 
was very natural. 
We slid down a hill of sand sixty feet to a 
chamber in which the guide showed us the petri¬ 
fied skeleton of a bear, and a few feet beyOnd, 
the skeleton of a human being. The bones were 
imbedded in the stone. This exhibit sent cold 
shivers down our backs. Siwash reminded us 
of the fight of Oh-se-uhma and Ne-cotah and 
of the bear. Was it not possible that the bones 
we saw were those of the bear and Oh-se-uhma’s 
enemy? We mentioned this to the guide, but 
he knew nothing of the story, and we knew 
enough of the Teutonic mind not to attempt to 
interest him in the romance. Just how many 
miles we covered on our journey through the 
bowels of the earth I could not say, but from 
the time we entered until the moment when we 
emerged again into the delicious sunlight, it was 
three hours. The guide informed us that we 
could have spent several hours mope in the 
cave without revisiting any of the chambers. 
We all voted the cave a marvel and the sight 
of its wonders one of the events of our 
lives, but were unanimous in declaring that 
we were glad to get out. It had been our 
intention to paddle to Thickety Ford that day 
and camp opposite Blue Springs Lodge, a much 
visited resort, where a number of our friends 
were spending their vacations. By referring to 
our maps we found that we were within fifteen 
miles of the place, and after a little discussion 
decided to make it that day, paddling, if neces¬ 
sary, until a later hour than usual. 
This we were not obliged to do. Swift water 
assisted us to make good time. At three we 
were at Ben Harrison ford; that is, I said we 
were at Ben Harrison ford, but the Schoolma’m 
thought otherwise. I based my statement on the 
topographical sheet; so did the Schoolma’m. 
Shortly after leaving the ford, the river divided. 
We chose the left branch. Within 200 yards 
of the fork it narrowed to a width of ten feet, 
and through this the waters raced. Fortunately 
the channel was clear. The water was very 
choppy and our canoes, although heavily laden, 
were tossed like eggshells. However, our choice 
of channels in this instance was fortunate. The 
other one we saw as we came out at the other 
end had petered out to a trickle. Shortly after 
this we had a little excitement. There was a 
sharp bend in the river. A log projected into 
the stream. Trying to avoid the whirlpool in 
the pocket of the bend, I steered too close to 
the other shore and ran on this log. Boots and 
I managed to maintain our equilibrium, however, 
and the current swung the stern of the canoe 
around down stream, when the swift current 
pulled the bow off the log. We swung free just 
as Jim and Siwash, who saw our plight, came 
running up the bar to help us. By digging my 
paddle deep into the gravel I held the stern, 
while the bow swung around again and pointed 
down stream. It was quickly over, but very ex¬ 
citing while it lasted. A spill in such a place 
would have been serious.
