y. Teachers had been in her school dav:
r Mr.. Schwenke said he was afraid t
e begin his speech for fear the smar
= things he wanted to say would lik
It Gen. Geigers Eagle. get away from
him.
e Mr. Stiers said he didn't want to bo
= a school officer, but since it turned
y. out to afford so much pleasure he wa,
I glad he belonged in such good com.
l pany and was so highly honored and
50 kindly treated.
Mr.. Bowlby said he had a beauti-
full speech prepared but the teacher in
charge had lost it at Macarthur Junct-
ion while takinga five hour lunch, and
a hot cup Of coffee.
Mr.. Warner said he thought enough
speaking had been done and suggested
that all would be better pleased If each
would do as he was doing, take an
orange. The Banquet did not close
until midnight.
On Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
We took our boat ride. Nearly a
hundred of Gallipolis people came with
us. Cap. Dunbar was commander
! and took pleasure in pointing out to
us the wonders of the Boat and the
noted places along the journey. The
Boat is called Claribelle. 1t is pretty
and neat and tidy and I think it is
named after postal clerk, because of
its beauty and itspopularity.
We went up to Point Pleasant, took
a stroll through the town, visited the
Post Office crossed the peninsula,
gathered some pebbles as memento's
and again took the Boat on the Kama
wha, and went up to the-lock, no eleven
the last and the eleventh of the gov
ernment Locks on that river. We
didn't like the Arithmetic name. and
we called it like it pronounces, "Loch
Levan. because that is like Gabrielle
and Cap. Dunbar and some more of
us, Scotch Irish. There was nothing
to be seen of Loeb Leven, but lock
eleven had a lot of stones piled up ON
the river bank, some posts on ends in
the water and lots of mud on the
bank. Some Of the company took
ride Ill box across the river on I
cable, high up in the air. The cable
was used for carrying stone from ;
quarry one side to the foundations of :
! bridge on the other side.
We landed at the Asylum at about +
'ne o'clock and after resting in the
'bade Of an orchard for little time we 6
we're taken to dinner. The Dining l
Hall would comfortably seat five
hundred people. 1t was very light
md airy. The table we sat at seated !
ne hundred persons. We had a
Inner of four courses and it took lis
nearly an hour to finish.
DR.. Rutter thanked the company +
or the honor of the visit and invited f
IS all to come again. Mr.. Green re- A
urned thanks in behalf of the Logan +,
eople for the courtesy extend ed by C
Ii during the visit +,
Our train came on time, and we cot a
ONE safe and sound, but Just Il little t,
