An 80 foot tug drawing five feet of
water recently made the trip of 40 miles
from Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania, to
Port Deposit. 1t was perilous adven-
ture and one which the participants will
probably not attempt again. The shoot
ing of the Conowaga Falls was particu-
larly exciting. The boat took the falls
by leaps and jumps, and it was for part
of the time a grave question whethere
there would be any survivors left to tell
the tale. The distance of two miles was
traversed in three and half minutes.
Not an accident occurred to mar the trip
as no rocks were struck. The boat was
only grounded twice.
