The Sink of Popoogie River and Explore Gaylor’s Descent
A New Year Joters correspondent details a remarkable expedition by Jisec Gaylor who descends a hidden river passage beneath a rock wall called the Sink. He dives with a rope, surfaces safely, and finds a cavern system where a basalt column forms the shaft of the upper cavern. He follows the waters to an exit and emerges into daylight, describing a perilous underground journey. Senator Evarts reportedly buys land near Washington for a country home, with his son Charles set to manage the estate, while Civil War death tallies are summarized and a detective bureau advertises its services.
