Leone EEE FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Saronpay, August 21-6 P, M. Wali street evinced something of human charac- Per.ctics to-day, and liverally broke down under the extredie peat. The Stock Exchange adjourned after te morning Call, and 7h Loug Rogm closed af shree o'clock. As usnal on Satiraay tists W sea- sion of the Government Board in the afternoon, Indeed, a paraliel was established between the physical and the financial eloments of the street, and stocks and gold went dow steadily and graduaily, as if they, too, were ayuiy’® thetic with the general relaxation of operators and brokers, The more promment exceptions in the general aeciine were the railway shares which have figured go lately in connection with consolida- tion schemes, but even they failed to withstand the declining tendency, which was so strong in the tn- terval to the bak statement and were feverisn and ‘Irregular. There was otherwise no feature tn stocks. The lowest figures touched inthe general decline were 19734 tor New York Central, 178 for Hudson River, 160% for Harlem, 2774 for Erle, 83), for Wa- ‘bash, 855 for Northwest, 80 for St. Paul, 106% for Lake Shore, 1143 for Rock Island, and 7934 for Pacific Mail, After the bank statement the worst features of which were regarded as discounted in their influence upon the market, there was a reac- tion, with @ steady but dull feeling at the close, This change was a result, in a measure, also of the More plentiful offerings of maney toward three e’clock, when loans were made as low as five per cent. The bank statement is very unfavor- able and shows the first sign of tne fall move- ment in currency to the West and South. The deposits have fallen off nearly seven millions, and the loans been contracted nearly four millions. ‘The decrease in specie is over two and @ half mil- ons, accounted for by the fact that tne sub-Treas- ‘ary received $2,009,000 in gold during the week on account of California transfers and $3,492,000 for customs, while only $315,179 waa disbursed for in- reerest and $1,000,000 for the regular gale. The loss in legal tenders is onty aixteen handred thousand dollars, showing that a large proportion by the spipments of currency has been in national bank notes. The decrease in liabilities admitting of a re- duction in the reserve required by law amounting ‘to $1,722,000, and the actual reduction in the lawful money held by the banks being $4,218,009; the sur- plus reserve has been reauced $2,496,000.

Py ‘There waga dull market for governments and Street operations were suspended an hour or two ‘earlier than usual. This apathy, as well as the de- cline in gold, lea to a weak feeling in earlier opera- tions, despite the steadiness of the foreign market. The bank statement was also regarded as prejudi- cal to bullish speculation and there was little dispo- ition to buy. In the best hours of the market 67's ‘wold at 120%. The 62's were extremely dull. On the other hand there was @ very logical advance ‘in the currency bonds, which are, of course, favor- ably affected by & decline in gold and sold as high as 100%, with mone offering at one time less than 110. The followmg were the closing street quotations:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 123 123/¢; do. do. coupon, 123 @ 12314; do. five-twenties, registered, 1213¢ a 1217¢; do. do., coupon, 1862, 1224, a 122%; do. do. coupon, 1864, 12134 9 12124; do. do., coupon, 1865, 12134 a 12134 do.do., coupon, new, 1865, 1203¢ a 120%; do. do., woupon, 1867, 12036 a 120%; ao. do., coupon, 1868, 22034 a 12034; do, ten-forties, registered, 111 a 11134; ‘do. do., coupon, 114% a 114%; currency bonds, 109% 8 109%. Southern securities did not follow the general course of the market, except in a few instances, but ‘were steady and strong, in sympathy with a further advance in the new Tennessees, for which there was ® better demand to cover speculative sales, the pur- éhasers apprehending that the full effects of ex- President Johnson's speech had been felt. The Bpectal tax bonds of North Carolina were weak despite efforts to “wash” them at the board.

The declining course of gold was quite marked to-day, and the price at one time touched the com: paratively low figure of 131%.

At the Gglt Exchange Bank the gross clearings were $91,356,000, ‘ie gold balances $2,507,004, and the currency balances $4,418,043. From the reports of the Financial Chronicle showing the receipts, exports, &c., of cotton for the week ending August 20, it appears that the total receipts for the seven days reached 1,361 bales (against 1,753 bales last week, 1,441 baies the previous week, and 1,091 bales three weeks since), making the aggregate recetpts since September 1, 1803, up to this date, 2,336,168 bales (of which 241,000 bales are overland shipments direct to the mills), against 2,444,837 bales (of which 260,000 bales were overland shipments) for the same period in 1667—veing an excess last season over this season of 108,609 bales. ‘Phe specie exports of the week were aa follows:— August 17—Steamer Westphalia, Parts— Gold DATS... +0++2+ sa aeee +++ $104,403 August 17—Steamer Westphalta, Paris Foreign atlver. seereeeeseeee 20,100 August 17-- Steamer Cleopatra, Sisal— American BIVET...cecceeeesereseesesereress — 1,000 August 19—Steamer Uniou, Loadon— fexican Gollard............5 Aeseseseseeeees 66,149 August 19—Steamer Union, Parts— exican dollars... sesceee 95,600 August 19—Steamer Union, Southamptou— Gold bars.. ecancomedagoenes + 36,763 August 19—Steamer Columbia, Havana— Aierican silver..... ee eeee 7,600 August 21—Steamer Lafayette, Havre— American gold + 1,000 Foreign gola. + 00 Foreign silver. + 28,900 Gold bars: « 61,193 Silver bars. +s + 85,831 August 21—Steamer City of Boston, Liver- Silver vars. + 14,005 ritish gold s+» 14,640 August 21—Steamer Henry Chauncey, Aspin- Wall—American SIVEF....+..+.seeseeeeeeee 25,508 ‘The following were the closing prices of stocks on the call at the only session of the Stock Exchange:— Canton, 60; Cumberland, 343 a 86; Western Union, 87% @ 3834; Quicksilver, 15 a 1544; Mariposa, 78 8; do. preferred, 10 a 14; Pacific Mail, 61 a 81%; Boston Water Power, 13 bid; Adams Express, 6t% bid; Wells-Fargo Express, 105¢ a 20%; Amert- can Express, 40; United States Express, 62); & 64; Merchants’ Union Express, 10'4 bid; New York Cen- tral, 2014 @ 2013; Hudson River, 1814 a 181%; Har- Jem, 160a 162; Reading, 96 a 96}; Michigan Cen- tral, 130 8 131; Lake Shore, 108 a 10844; Illinois Oen- tral, 18934 @ 140; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 10549 105%; Chicago and Northwestern, 87}¢; a0. pre- ferred, 9654 @ 96%; Cleveland, Oolumbus and Cin- cinnatt, 78.79; Rock Island, 1157 bid; Milwaukee and St. Paul, 8134, bid; do. preferred, 83% a 98%; Toledo and Wabash, 85% a 86; do. pre- ferred, 86% @ 8634; Fort Wayne, 151% a 151%; Alton and Terre Haute, 34 a 38; do, pre- ferred, 57% 259; Ohio and Mississippi, 3244 a 32%; Delaware ana Lackawanna, 11234 a 1123;; New Jer- sey Central, 1053¢ a 106; Chicago and Alton, 165%, a 156; Morris and Essex, 8814 @ 8814; Hannibal and St. Joseph, 126; do. preferred, 223}; a 124; Marietta and Cincinnati first preferred, 23; do. second pre- ferred, 10; Columbus, Chicago andj Indiana Centsal, 86 bid. : The following shows the resuits of to-day’s busi- ness at the Unitea States Su» Treasury in tuts etty:— General balance yesterda: Goid receipts... + $96,355,831 + 1,080,801 Goid [ier opees ++ 5,448,837 Gold balance... seeeeeerees 18,687, 896 Currency receipts. 226,907 Currency SS. 698,811 Currency balance. 10,334,724 General baiance. + 91,692, 862, Customs—Inicluded in gold receipts. . 5 The payments included $5,000,000 gold certificates cancelled and sent to Washington.

THE PATENT RIGHT SWINDLE, New Way of Obtaining Negotiable Paper, {From the Buffalo Courter, August 20.) Some facts have come to ligne within a tew days Which go to show that an enormous swindle has tor gome tite been in operation, the victims being weil- to-do countrymen generally, 80 far as We are enabled to ascertain, ‘Ihe extent of the swindle or the names of the operacors have not yet transpired, but from what we have been able fo gather we are led to believe that a number of men, some of them resi- dents of this city, have been engaged in the enter- prise. Toe swinde is @ new one, and the swindlera have exhibited constderavie in- genuity in carrying out their plans. The mode of operating seems to have been as foliows:—A business looking gag would pre. sent himself in @ country town, aud, having pro- cured the name of some substantial man, he would at once proceed to pay his respects to said man of subsiance, Inform hun that Le represented an important patent right interest in a gang plough and a potato digger, agricultural implements waich mustin time command a large sale, The patent right man did not wish to dispose of the rignt; he oniy wished to entrust h.s business, in the particu- jar Jocality in which he might be, to a responsible ies in whose energy and integrity he could rely. The man he addressed was just the person who had all the lofty qualifications he re. quired, No capital was required, and no great loss of time was demanded by the business, Our patent man simply proposed to send to our country friend a number of machines, from the sale of each of which be was to re‘ain for his services as agent the sum of pases ted dollars. These ma- chines were to be distributed as the — saw iit, that they might be properly tested by farmers, the patent operator being satisiied that every machine would be an irresistioie argument in favor of its purchase, The countryman seeing no possible chance for losing by the enterprise. but, on the con- trary, regarding the thing with favor, masmuch as tt proinised a very handsome return for an ordi- nary show of ‘enterprise, accepied the agency. A contract was of course necessary. It was produced by the manipulator of gang ploughs and potato a) . It was & printed biank and ouly required a moment to fill itup. ft stipu- jated, a8 We icarn, that the countryman should ao- cept the agency, and perform all the conditions we have set forth, and of course hia signature was re- quired, The printed matter on the contract oxtend- ed 80 far down the sbeot that a simp of paper had been attached in advance, evidently to receive the name,of the new agent. ‘the mignature given, the hegotiativns were considered Ciysed, and whe parent- righter withdrew, leaving lis agent to wait in ex! for the appearance of thi mashinos e wo ment his woalth, Now, that the white alip of paper, by what we conceive to be a delicate muctlage; and this paper, 60 attached, waa nothing more nor less than @ promisory note for a certain amount of money, Or waa tly Made one, It is noe satisfactory determined whether tle note was inted before the siguature was obtained or after. in this Way, it ts understood, a large number of pro- Mises vo pay were obtained and alterward turowo upon the market, Another method waa resorted to, but which was brought most frequently tuto use we have no meand of knowing at present.” Tne contract being made as already referred to, the ageut was required co sign & blank note, sometuing like the foilowiug:— —— —, 1309.

Wuire Hovsz, Purney, 8. W., August 5, 1369, The cable and previous letters have alreaay told you of the safe arrival of the Harvard oarsmen at the place selected for their great match. At no time of the year would they have been so likely to fave a quiet trip, and fortunate they were in this, for, even aa it was, with nothing stronger than a moderate breeze once for a few hours, most of their number had to devote tw6 or three days specially to the proprietor of the ocean locker. The exercise taken on board ship was, a4 usual In such cases, exceedingly desultory, even the rowing weight, which had, through the kindness of Captain Ken- nedy, been set up for thetr special benefit, failing to attract any man two days running, 8o that there ‘was a very noticeable gain in the weight of each on first going to scale after ianding. Through the most assiduous attentions of Stanton Biake thelr trip to their present quarters was made most agreeable. A search of some five days, during which the crew were living very crampedty in a little old- fashioned {nn, the Star and Garter, was rewarded by securing our present quarters, and a large degree of positive comfort may be really had in tne plea- sant little cottage whose high-sounding name scarcely suggests it. It ia very easy here to realize that an Englishman’s house ia his castle, and tn this caas the American party may well be glad of it; for the wall of solid masonry, some eight feet high, which preciudes the inspection of the curious, while it encloses an acre of land very tastily laid out, can only a passed through by one gate, and not by that unti! our colored Ame- rican boy George has first received the card of the visitor through a little hole in it and brought tt in for inspection, Five tatiors In one batch he announced the other day, Photo- graphera daily, reporters semt-datly and inquiters for our colors assist the small host of visitors whom we care to admit, in keeping our huge cowbell on a steady jingle. The house is a gem in its way, though almost two centuries old. It ts two stories and a half high, of brick, painted white, and, through the efforts of several generations, has been made as cosey and comfortable as one could wish. Just large enough for the crew, the two substitutes, two harvard gentlemen who are rendering varied and necessary assistance, and the servants. An odd bed has been set up for Mr. Eliott, the boat buliaer, and 8 most useful auxiliary we find nim. The wails are quite covered with pot only many very fair paintings, but several fine engravings; and the large croquet ground tn front unites with a fine garden at the rear, from the end of which to the tron ttself 1s not at high tide over thirty feet. A hundred yaras off are the houses of the London Rowing Club, and im one of these our boats are kept locked up, and accessible to our own party only. These boat houses are not to be named in the same day with those of the Bachelor's Barge and other cltrbs in Philadelphia, whose practice 1s on the Schuylktil, for subsian- tialness of build and beauty of model, nor do they surpass them for ready accommodation or factli- ties for approach and departure; but tf the number of boats, the amount of interest and the actual work done are taken into consideration perhaps the comparison had better not be made. Men come out here trom London and take rooms tn the neighbor- hood for the entire aummer, runuti 2. i) Gatly to thetr business and retuenlity iy in the aiternoon for a pull on the river or @ paddle tn one as tye ie ttle Rob Roys which Macgregor has renderéd famous. And if as beautitul @ stretch of water layne cue of our er cities Many an en- terpriaing few might reap @ ver respectable in- come by drawing down the weak lunged and the dyspeptic for a little daily exercise and catering ju- diciously to their wants, to say nothing of the rea! puolic benefactor he would become. THE COURSE. Four miles west of London, higher up the Thames, Iles the Little town of Putney, said to contain some 8,000 or 10,000 inhabitants, and far from an unsightly town to live in. One generation ago a few comfortable mansions and the humble homes of those employed about them were all that Putney could boast of in the way of houses, but I am informed on good au- thority that boating alone has had much to do with rendering it what it is. Right away from Putney aqueduct, which stretches across the river, here 700 feet wide, must the racing still travel four miles and two furlongs before tt reaches the ship, the old tavera at the finish in Mortlake, and beneath two bridges—Hammersmith and Barnes Ratlway—the former very high and of but two spans; the latter almost as easy to steer through. Catch a borse shoe by tts ends and pull them open a couple of inches and you will have a very fair copy of the shape of the course. In two places only is it less than 600 feet wide—one at Chiswick Cut, small, reedy island two miles and a half from the start, where it narrows to about 400, and the other a little further on, Where some temporary piles, driven to aid the workmen tn laying an aqueduct, cut It down fifty more. But as a track 10U feet wide ts really broad enough for two four-oared boats to row abreast, these places need give no trouble. The real aifculty with this course lies not in its shape, but in its tides and currents as affected by that shape. I think @ chip, if kept in mid- river would fioat the entire course in an hour if started soon after half-tide, the time, by the way, at which races are usually rowed and this one is set for. The waver seems to be ever turning and eday- ing and the coxswain will fnd hardly one minute over the whole course when he need not gently touch his rudder. On him must come much im- portant work in the race, and { am happy to be abie to report that be spends over four hours daily in going over the course, studying tvs intricacies and jotting them down for reference, The coxswain of ‘the Uxtord crew, Mr. F. B. Hail, of Corpus Christi College, 1s said to Dave never been over this course tll one week ago, and hence to bave never stecred over itina race. He is a pale, delicate young fel- low, exceedingly siender and wili not weigh over ba pounds traimed, Ours will not be two pounds eavier. {he real problem for cither ts not dimcuit to soive if the bouts in the race are nO¢ near each other. If they are then they may aud probably will beso thrown. togetier that no previous study would be of muct service. Presence of mind, sound judgment and the will to follow; these are the desiderata and I have seen no special reason to be fearful in this re- spect, All the talk in our papers at home about the madness of (he coxswain im not “boboing” back and forth on the 15th of June race and in not shout. ing Uo his men Is at once contradicted by all Chat we see aud hear on this side. In the fast crews here he does not move perceptibly, towever great thetr pace, and how much effect his shouting would have on this comparatively narrow river, aca Ge when 600,000 throats ave all assisting Lim, may readily ve Judged. THR CREW AT WORK. As the owner of che house which had been engaged wag unwilling to let t¢ when the time actually came for so short a period ag six weeks, the delay occa- signed by having to procure another and @ dull switnming of the bead in each maa combined in de- ciding the captain in working lis men in pair oars fora few days, Sut this course only served to in- crease the taterest and the numbers of lookers on, and most curions were the comments on anything the Americans had or did. The amount bf work they do daily 1s proportioned much the same as at home. A practice row of about three miles aud @ haif ia the moruing and 4 long eight mile pull in the eveuing, thus making gome two miles @ day more than they used to, or than the Oxford men now go over, Up till to-day Mr, Simmons has been rowh stroke, and on the starboard side, but it bas been found that the crew could work to better advantage arranged with Mr. Bass tn the bow, Mf ‘luce next; then Mr. Simmons and Mr. Loring at the stroke oar, end this puts the stroke on the port or usual side.

THE RFPKCTS OF THE CLIMATE. For pethaos a week after arriving the fact that no past of Engiand was very distant from some large ody of Water, made itself apparent mainly by a very ae dampuesa tn tie air, particularly early ln the Morning, and one often tound himself invol- untarlly bundiing up his neck a little when the air could not seem even cool. This may have happened more frequently than it would élsewhere, because our house 1s so close to the river, but whatever the cause, the efiect has entirely disappeared, The drinking water, (oo, received some atteation from ita rather marked unaperient qualitres. Still the men are right at their work uninterruptediy aud seem to care very little for either of these changes. 4 ViSiT FROM THE OXFORD MEN.

But five minutes after I heard a shout, and looking round saw one of the boats coming Captain Howland, of the No Name, had not seen the signai in time, and the swift cur- rent had carried him to the brink. Isaw that his going over was tnevitable and turned to save the third boat. In two minutes more I saw that tura the potnt and head to shore, and so I went after tue boat ‘phe first fall was not great, but below it continued to tumble down twenty or thirty feet more, in a channei fliled with dangerous rocks that broke the waves into whirlpools and beat them into foam. I turned just to see the boat sirlke @ rock and throw the men and cargo out. Still they olung to her sides and clambered in again, and saved part of the oars, but she was tull of water and they could not manage her. Still down the river taey went, two or three hundred yards, to anotner rocky rapid just as bad, and the voat struck again amidsbips and was dashed to pieces. Tue mea were thrown into the river and carried beyond my sight. Very soon | turned the point, and could see man’s head above the waters, seemingiy washed about by @ wnirpool below a rock; This was Frank Goodman clinging to the rock, with @ grip on which life depended.

Seneca Howland, the captain's brother, was washed further down the isiand on to some rocks, and managed to getashore in safety, except- ing some bad bruises, This seemed along time, bnt ‘ywas quickly done. And now the three men were on the Island, with a dangerous river ou each side and fails below. ‘tae Emma Dean was soon gos down apd Sumner, one of the men of my boat, started with {t for theisiand. Right skiifuliy ne piyed bis oars and a few strokes set Him at the proper point, aud back he brought his cargo of men, We were as glad to shake hands with them as if they had been on & voyage round the world and wrecked on a distaat coast. Down the river half a mile we found coat the after-cavin of the boat, with part of the bottom, ragged and splintered, iad tloated ayainas a rock andstranded, There Were valuable articles in the cabin, but oa examination we concluded that lule should not be risked to save them. Of course the cargo of rations, instruments and clotuing was fone, So we went up to the boats and made a camp or the night. No sleep would come to me in those dark hours before the day. Katious, (nstraments, &., had been divided among the boaw for safety, and we started with duplicates of everyiling thal was @ necessity to success; but in che distribution there was one exception, and the baromecers were all lost, There was @ posstbil- {ty that the barometers were in the cabin lodged against a rock on the island—that was the cabin to which they liad been kept. But then how to get to it? And the river was rising—would it be there to- morrow? Could I go out to Salt Lake and get ba- rometers from New York? Well, I thought of many iang before morning, and determined to get them ‘rom the island, if they were there, After breakfast the men started to make the vated and I waiked down to look at the wreck, There tt was still on tne island, only carried fiity or sixty feet furtoer on. A closer examination of tne ground showed me that it could easily be reacned, That afternoon Sumner and Hall volunsecred to take the little boat and goto the wreck. They started, reached it and out came the barometers. Tuen the boys set up & shout. I joined them, pleased that bs too siiould be 80 giad to save the instrument hen the boat landed on our side, I found that the only things saved from the wreck were the three barometers, the package of thermom- eters anda two gallon keg of whiskey, This was what the men were shouting about. They had taken 1t on board unknown to me, and I am giad they did, for they think 1t does them good—as they are drenched every day by the melted snow that runs down this river from the summit ef the Rocky Mountalas—and that ls @ positive good itself, Three or four day were spent in making this portage, nearly & mile long, and letting down the rapids that followed In quick succession. On the night of the 12th we camped in a beautifal grove of vox elders op the left bank, and here we remained two days to dry our rations, which were In a spolt- ing condition. A rest, too, Was needed. 1 must nob forget to wentiou that we found the wreck of & boat near our own, that nad been carried above high water mark, and with it the lid of @ bake oven, an old tin plate and other things, showing that some one ejse had been wrecked there and camped fn the canyon after Une disaster, This, 1 think, confirms the story ofan attempt to run the canyon, some years ago, that has nm mentioned before, On the 14th Howland end 1 olimbed ig canyon, OB IE Wegt Boy, WO en wufvude of a0, mm howe ating clrcumstanees in accepting your not reach me till lately. @ manifest back-down, and at once upsets the favorite theory that Harvard would be beaten, because Oxford and Cambridge If Cambridge had them, and she is said to have five or aix men who know how to row to every one that Harvard can forwardt Probably because Cambridge men are mostly Englishmen, and because they do not want to see an American crew defeat any English crew, and hence reduce materially the cbances of such an event by deliverately declining to pull at all. * The coatrast between such @ spirit aud that evinced by the men who have come over 3,000 miles, to their very doors, to meet them on their own tilting ground, is not oue.the existeuce of which Awert- cans need regret, and should their representatives be beaten by the Oxford men they can in all cases have the fair queation to put—Why did pot Cam- 1 must The two good oarsmen and myself explore them, i pe witha ca, § I signal an dates from his expedition dowa to the 23d of Juue. go to pieces, mourning over the wreck of platters feet, On looking over w the wes we saw alx ®, pers five or miles wide and twenty-five or thirty long.

So It seemed; but she stopped a coupie of miles below in an eddy, and we followed close after. She was caugat—dam- aged slightly by a thuinp or two on the rocks. Another day waa spent on the Waves, among the rocks, and we came down to Alcove Creek, and made an early bait for the night. With How- land, I went to explore the stream, @ little moun- tain brook, coming down from the heights into an alcove Miled with luxurious vegetation. ‘The camp was made by @ group of cedars on one side and @ mass of dead willows on the other.

JUNE 20, 1869, At the point where the Bear, or, with greater cor- rectness, tne bony river enters the Green, the river runs along @ rock about 700 feet high and a mile ag. then turns sharply around to the right and runs back parallel to ita former course for another mile, with the opens sides of this long, narrow rock for its bank. On the east side of the river, opposite the rock and below the Yampa,is a little park juat large enough fora farm. The river has worn out holiow domes in this sandatone rock, and, standing oppo- site, your words are with a strange clear- neas, but soitened, low tone, Conversation in a loud te od transformed into magical music. You can hardly believe that ‘tis the echo of your own voice. ‘In some places two or three echoes come back, in others the echoes themselves are re, passing forth and back across the river, for there 1s another rock making the eastern wall of the littie pars. To ‘thought they could count ten or twelve echoes, me they seemed torapidiy vanish in multiplicity, auditory perspective, or perauditory. I observed this aame phenomenon once before among the cliffs near Long'a Peak, and was delighted to meet with Camp at Mourn OF WINTER River, ISLANK PaRK, June 23, 1369, | When we left Echo Park on the 2ist, we soon ran into a canyon very Darrow, with high vertical walls. Here and there huge rocks jutted into the water from the walls, and the canyon made frequent and sharp curves. The waters of the Green are greatly increased since the Yampa came in, as that has more water than the Green above. Ali this volume of wa- ter, confined as it {s in a narrow channel, ia set eddy- ing and spinning by the projecting rocks and points, and curves into whirlpools, and the waters waltz their way through the canyon, making their own rippling, rushing, roaring music. It wasadiMcuit task to get our boats through here, as the whirlpools would set them spinning about the canyon, andjwe found 16 impossible to keep them headed down stream. At first (hia caused us great alarm, but we soon found there was no danger, and that there was a motion of transtatten dowa the river, to which this whiri- tog was but an adjunct, That ’twas the merry mood of the river to dance through this deep, narrow, dark gorge, and right gayly did we join in the dance. Soon our revel was interrupted by the view of a cat- aract, and its roaring command waa heeded with all our power at the oara a3 we pulled against the whirling current. The Emma Dean was landed against a rock, about fifty feet above the brink of the cataract. The boats following oveyed the signal toland.

By much seareh [ foun slong the cliff to a point just over where the boat lay, and by shouting loud and slow made them under- stand. The portage was made before dinner. Below the falls the Kong yl opens out, there is more or less space between the river and the walls, which ts often covered by cottonwood and boulders; but the stream, though wide, 18 rapid, and rolls at a fearful rate among the rocks, But we proceeded with great caution, and ran the large boats altogether by tue fing. We camp @ nignt at the mouth of a small creek, which affords a good supper and break- fast of trout, and proceed again by stages of a half mile to amile tn length. While we are waiting for dinner to-day I climb ® point that gives mo a good view of the river for two or three inties, and think we can make a long run. So, after dinner, the large boats are to follow in fifteen minutes and look out for signal to land.
