that. but III give a few facts and figures
To show you how much fun there was In
that trip Ii took us from o'clock In
the morning till A In the aficrnoon-tcn
hours--to cover the twelve miles. and
we stopped nowhere either for rest or
food. In one place IL took US nearly 4
hours TO cover two miles. We made
our way this entire distance walking
along lodges OF rock no wider than your
two hands. and that. remember In a
rainstorm that made all the rocks slip
perry. Twice falling trees from above
nearly put an end TO the trip and TO the
existence OF two newspaper men. At
another point we had TO crawl on our
hands and knees over fallen trees for
fully half mile. Aud don't forget the
rain all this time, and the mud and the
dirt. That will give you an idea Of
our appearance when we reached Johns
town at four o. clock. We crossed the
river twice on boards laid from rock TO
rock.
"Of course. that just brief outline
OF the trip. but guess the figures will
give you better idea OF the difficulties
than any description OF mine. The pa.
per got five columns. aud | presume
the readers never stopped to think that
the description wasn't secured by trip
down the valley with horse and bug
gy."
All eyes were cast on the next man In
the circle and he reused himself for his
story.
There were some humorous incidents
at Johnstown, too" he said. IL recall
one that came ia the experience OF two
New York newspaper men. 1t would
hardly come under the head OF tough
experiences, but guess it's worth tell
ing They were on their way back from
Johnstown and OF course, stopped over
at Pittsburg. They had been In Johns
town a week or ten days. and, OF course,
looked about as bad as two OF the worst
tramps you ever saw. Well. the first
thing they did on arriving in Pittsburg
was TO go TO the Monongahela House aud
make break for the bar-room They
asked for some whisky, but the bar
keeper sized them up as tramps and de-
clincd TO serve them.
