CAPTAIN ROGERS SLIDE

Bald Mountain or Rogers Rock on
its ponderous bulk of granite to an al
most perpendicular height OF LOO
feet, being matched by similar bulk
and height on the east, half a mile
away. Here Captain Rogers and his
small army on snowshoes were de-
feated by a large army OF French
and Indians. The small remnant were
scattered through the forest at the
top OF the mountain, and party OF
Indians tracked the marks or the
snowshoes OF the refugees. When
Rogers became aware that he was
likely to be driven over the precipice,
he made his way to the brink, threw
his pack and accoutrements down the
slide to the lake. He then turned his
snowshoes around and, after stealing
along the edge OF the hill, made his
way down the lake, picked up his
pack. reversed his snowshoes and
sped southwark to the Narrows, where
he was met by Captain Stark with re-
Inducements and provisions. The IT.
dams followed Rogers tracks to the
brink, where. seemingly. were two
tracks to the precipice. They con-
cluded that two white men had slid
down to the ice below While gazing,
they saw a mile away the form Of
Rogers. But considering him under
the special protection of the Great
Spirit, they made no further pursuit.
