A dramatic account describes a massive rock sliding from a cliff into the Cheat River watershed. Witnesses recount the rock’s impact creating a deep whirlpool, washing away trees, and leaving a huge cavern rumored to underlie the river. Local observers weigh the cave’s extent and potential future river behavior, with crews surveying the site and noting logs carried downstream.
A travelogue recounts departure from Paris, stay in Brussels with views of Godfrey de Bouillon and the Grand Place, a visit to the Waterloo battleground and chateau, and a Brussels to Antwerp leg. The voyage aboard the Red Star line is described with fellow travelers, music, and reflections on weather, seas, and a budding teacher’s career.
