Canoeing. 
A Long Canoe Voyage. 
New Orleans, La.. Aug. 23. —Editor Forest 
and Stream: Edgerton Moorehouse and Ray 
Engle, two boys eighteen years of age, arrived 
in this city during the week from Milwaukee 
in a sixteen-foot canoe. They traveled a dis¬ 
tance of 2,000 miles. They shipped their canoe 
from Milwaukee to Watertown, Wis., on the 
Rock River on June 25 and were on the water 
seven weeks and four days. 
The boys say that they had more trouble on 
the Rock River than on the Mississippi on ac¬ 
count of the dams. Rock River joins the Missis¬ 
sippi at Rock Island, Ill. They traveled at night 
after reaching Vicksburg on account of the great 
heat. The boys have done considerable canoe¬ 
ing, but the trip just ended was the longest they 
have ever taken. Engle stood the trip well, but 
Moorehouse was suffering from malaria. They 
disposed of their boat here and returned to Mil¬ 
waukee by rail. They seem to have had enough 
for the present of canoeing trips, and it is not 
likely that they will try any more soon.
