She also had two small rubber wheels, one on either to keep her nose from grinding the sides of the flume as she went by curves. ** ‘Now, boys,’ said Mr. Patton, ‘button up your coats, tie down your hats, and hold on.

Smalley took the next one, and I took the rear and worked the tiller. That was rigged just like a ship’s rudder, with a rubber wheel to ease off her stern against the side of the flume if she got to yawning. Patton told his men to put on two inches more of water, and then,with a wave of his hat, we weighed an- chor. Great Scott! how that thing jumped! Smalley got seasick.

The rudder wheel would squeak on either side, and the good ship would round the curve like a flash, Sometimes an uneven- ness in the flume would occur, and then, as the cratt sped over it, the spray would rise fifty feet in the air. “Keep on your hats!’ shouted Patton; then, as we struck a straight five-mile stretch, ‘Now hold on to your teeth.’ “I don,t exactly know what the next sensation was, but I tried to peep out from under the rm of my hat, and, my soul, it was all a blur —trees, rocks, landscape, all mingled in an undistinguishable mass.
