Majestic Oak and Hemlock Border the Beautiful Stream

A 5:15 train excursion from Albany to Medway on the Charles River chronicles a canoe trip through marshy banks and moonlit rivers. The author patches a canoe hole with surgeon's plaster, camps by a marshy shore, shares village hospitality, and praises Eliot the Apostle as he recalls embowered woods, hemlocks, and the river’s quiet beauty. He notes thermal discomfort, mosquitoes, and the contrast of steam launches with serene scenery, concluding with travel fatigue on the return.
