The stone for buildings was brought
from Nyack and the brick needed was
made there,
In 1928 the Howell Works company
was incorporated and James p. Allairo
was elected president. In 1881 the com
pany was sold out and bought In by
James p. Allaire as an individual.
After acquiring the property Mr.. Al
laire made further improvements. A
modern furnace for smelling iron was
built, which is standing today as
strong as II was the day II was
erected.
Roads were improved TO Red Bank
and Ocoanport. where piers were con-
structed and line OF sloops was op-
Grated TO New York City.
The FIRST steamboat built was the
Yolas, the second Osiris. followed by
the Isis and the 1918.
Comfortable houses were built fol-
employees and from 1884 TO 1887 Allaire
was at the height OF It's prosperity. The
big furnace was in operation, there
was grist mill. bakery. store. car

The establishment OF an iron smeit-
ing works at Allaire marked us ln-
oeption. The panic OF 1887 crippled
Mr.. Ailaire financially and II was fol-
lowed some years later by the diaeoV-
cry Of improved methods OF eomous-
tion in the refining OF iron ore. THESE
were the beginning OF the downfall OF
the town, which resulted ultimately
IN the enforced abandonment OF a
plant which at that time contained
one OF the finest iron smelling fur-
naees in the world.

ground began to sink beneath the
climbers and, atth the others looking
heiplessly on. the four doomed ones
slid over the edge OF the preclpice and
dashed upon the crags below.
II was a sheer fall OF thousands OF
feet.
Below them Jagged peaks Of rock
jutted out and seemed almost TO reach
for them.
DR.. Black and Miss He'll were prob
ably killed instantly.
The escape OF the other two was
miraculous.
Carrel. the guide, struck upon a
ledge Of rock and an instant later the
lifeless body OF one OF the women fell
beside him.
There. for hours. they lay with the
weight OF the other two bodies pulling
taut the rope about their waists and
