term ice has formed above the Falls in vast guam
titles mostly in blocks which have come down the
rapids and lodged on the shoa places Last week the
ice became wedged in and froze together between
Bath Island and Chaplin Island, and from thence TO
the brink of the cataract Such an Occurance we
are told, is not within the reColectlonS OF the old
est inhabitant." Those of our distant readers who
have visited the falls will remember an island be-
tween the paper mill and the American fall, above
and around which the water rushes with great vlo-
Ience This is called Chaplin Island from the circum
stance that a man named Chaplin, who was at work
on the bridge fell into the rapids and fortunately
reached the island the current dashed him to-
wards the cataract. Not less remarkable was his
rescue by the we'll known adventurer, Joel Robinson,
who succeeded in reaching the island with a small
boat This occurred many years ago, since which
the spot has not been visited by any human being
until now.
The first gentleman to cross the ice was Mr. Frank
B. Fox, who visited the island, hosted flag, and
found the ice had formed from the island to the brink

The eastern edge of the ice formation passes along
