FROM SR. VANOEVENTER
On the St. Lawrence, August
1908. Editor Progress: —Let me
greet you and my friends from
this distant land. The day has
been spent on the river that
sw r eeps with such majesticpporerw r er
its way to the sea. Our ship
Torento, left Clayton, N. Y. at
7:20 a. m. A run through “The
Thousand Islands” was an
aesthelic delight. I venture to
say there is not another place
like it in all the lands. There
are more than 1600 Islands, some
large and some small, most of
them having beautiful residences
upon them, all of them like
emeralds upon the bosom of the
beautiful river.
At Prescott we change boats
finding a place on an observation
boat, and soon we start for Mon
treal and the rapids. “The Gal-
lops and Rapids do. Plat” are the
first we enter, then comes “Long
Sault” nine miles in length, with
a fall of 48 feet, then the Cotean
Cedar and Split-Rock Rapids, the
latter said to be the most difficult
to navigate. If you have not
been through, you have yet to
get an experience. The boat
shoots forward, and you feel a
sudden sinking, a rush forward
and a going down. The waters
are lashed into billows, and you
see the shape of the rock over
which the waters swirl and foam.
They seem dangerously near too,
and you wonder if the Pilot
knows his business, and he does.
The Lachine, the last before we
reach Montreal is the most tur
bulent of all.
The weather is cool and de
lightful. After spending some
days in N. Y. City, in the blis
tering" heat, one is prepared to
appreciate the cool atmosphere.
New York is very interesting
though. One need never be dull
in the place, for there is always
something to see. If you think
you know N. Y. and have not
been there in the last few years,
you do not know it. To be on
Broadway about 6 p. m., when
thousands are making their way
home after the day of toil is to
get a vision of humanity, hardly
seen anywhere else. New
York’s cosmopolitan is the most
liberal. Every nation finds a
home here such as they make.
The ride on the Hudson to
Albany is worth the cost of the
[trip. If Henry Hudson did not
I discover the river, he wad its ex-
plorer. The Hudson is unique.
It is the most symmetrical flow of
water in the world perhaps. The
current is swift like the St. Law
rence. It takes a drop of water
three weeks to reach New York
City. It has been called the
drowned river, because it does
not flow on to the ocean, but the
ocean flows up to meet it half
way. You pass many historical
spots Washington Heights, iden
tified with the struggles of 1776;
the Palisrdss; Sunny Side, made
memorable by Irving; Sleepy Hol
low and West Point, where sol
diers are made, and men are
unmade.
The great “ice store houses’’
along the river are interesting
because in them are garnered the
winter harvest of the Hudson,
which no man sows, and kept
until the hot weather makes
demands upon them for the com
fort they hold, and then in great
barges, built for the purpose the
ice Is transported to market.
My le.tter is already long
enough. We are now nearing
Montreal, and I will say good
night. Cordially Yours,
Robert Van Deventer.
