We pass other things than villages,
for here, high and dry on the bank, we
find massive dredge, whose parts
were brought over from France in the
days gone by, and assembled on the
edge of the forest, never to be used.
Her boilers have never been filled with
steam, and her buckets have hung
there, nothing but nesting places for

of the river is the resting place of ruin,
and the Chagres, loaded down with
these memories of the past, flows onto
troubles there.
At every turn in the river we find
ghosts of the departed builders. who
have left these tclltale monuments to
their wastefulncss. Words cannot de-
scribe such scenery. II is SO unnatural.
