way"
Lest there should be any struggling
of the shoulders at this part Of Mrs.
Plumbley's narrative, remark casually
that Murray alludes to the drowning of
a deer by a guide named Martin, doubt
less Stephen Martin, Of Lower Saranac.
In the days when hunting with Jack
lights at night was permitted drowning
deer was fair sport.
yes, I've done about everything,
she went on. "One winter when father
and the other men were off loggin' and
mother and l was alone, the wood got
low. There wasn't going to be enough
to last till they came back. SO | got the

thought he had to come is simple
enough. He had the thirst for the new
country, the same feeling that drove
the prairie schooners to Pixies Peak.
The Plumbleys were living on the
next farm" she continued, but there
weren't many neighbors. We got our
mail and whatever else We had to have
from Minerva. That's thirty miles
away. There wasn't much to see. But
there was enough to do. We could get
enough fish, of course, and if we wanted
meat we could Kill deer. I killed seven
teen myself one fall. We didn't waste
powder when we could help it. Some
times we used to kill EN- by getting

axe and went into the woods and cut
some trees and chopped them up and
brought them in
Or, perhaps she brought them in
first and then chopped them up; ON
second thought | believe that is the
right version.
That is how Obedia Hough, later Mrs.
John Plumbley, kept house at Long
Lake about the middle Of the nineteenth
century. Those who undergo the ex-
perience of pioneers in the wilderness
are not idolators. They do not worship
the forest, although they are likely TO
find in it mysteries unfathomable.
Adirondack Murray, for instance, de-
clares solemnly that in the oppressive
calm preceding thunderstorm great
trees are likely to fall in the woods, and
he has a hair raising tale about an In
dian ghost-maiden haunting the Ra-
auette River, causing inquisltlve persons
to find themselves shooting over Butter
milk Falls before they know it. These
and many other tales of wonder are
part of the stock in trade of woods peo-
pie. who know that city folks like to
hear them, and like TO hear them told
with becoming reverence and gravity,
in a perfectly honest-to-gosh manner.
That side hill golumphus, with his fore
and aft legs on the port side shorter
than the starboard, so that he can navl-
gate a mountain side with ease and COM
fort, is among these mysteries.
You wouldn't expect to hear Mrs.
John Plumbley exclaiming that she
thinks mountains are just lovely, or that
deer are perfectly sweet. Mountains IN
her early days were part Of the days
work. and deer were meant for meat as
{ general thing. Yet it depended some
what on circumstances.
I'VE saw a doe comm across the
meadow toward the barn one day" said
Mrs. Plumbley. Il could tell that she
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-17

she regarded her part as important, and
the younger Mrs. Plumbley says that
there hasn't been a breakfast without
fapjacks in that house since then.
Which amounts to the handsome total Of
no less than 10000 fapjack breakfasts
What gives Mrs. Plumbley's nara
tive historic importance is the fact that
it was her husband, John Plumbley, who
was the guide for Adirondack Murray
and the constant illusions to John in
the book Adventures in the Wilder
ness" mean none other than John
Plumbley. 1t was that book, in turn,
which introduced the Adirondacks to
the American public, and this COM
bination Of circumstances makes the
circle complete, with Mrs. Obedia
Plumbley at the centre, one Of the few
survivors, perhaps the only survivor,
of the really old days Of the settlement
Of that part of the wilderness, perhaps
the last Of the little group whose names
are closely associated with the real open
ing Of the forest.
I've done everything that any woman
could do said Mrs. Plumbley, "or man,
either"
One could readily believe her, for the
fire Of energy and endurance still burns
in her eyes, and it is only within the last
two or three years that she has grudg-
ingly given up the habit Of walking the
three ana a half miles to Long Lake VII
lage and back again whenever she
wanted to do little shopping.
I'VE came from Lewis County, where
we had A good farm with everything we
could want-cows, sheep, pigs and all.
But there was a man who owned some
land in here, and he promised father
farm if he'd come, so he sold out and
came. He had to buy the farm, after
all. l don't know why he thought he
had TO come.
"Of course, the reason why Hough

have heard Paul Smith tell of the
days when ne came into the woods from
Vermont, guiding parties Of hunters
gho slept IN the snow, because not even
Adirondack camps were to be found in
those days, and l have seen Mitchell
Seoatis, the honest Indian, whose i'm

DID HE SHOOT THE RAPIDS?
SURELY. MURRAY WAS
A MINISTER.

These evidences Of Murray's standing
as man of knowledge and veracity are,
[ submit, overwhelming. In view Of
them Murray's chapter on Running the
Rapids should be read. There IS no
question as to the location Of the rapids
he means. for at the close Of the chap
Ter he says, That night slept upon tho
floor at Palmers." Palmer's was other
wise known as Uncle Palmer's, hotel
which existed about 1867 in the neigh
borhood where John Plumbley, Amos
Hough and Mitchell Sabatis lived. That
is, it was at the southern end Of Long
Lake. The rapids are therefore the
rapids of the Raquette River, and the
falls which are the climax Of the story
ore without the slightest doubt Butter
milk Falls, about a mile from the head Of
the lake.
examined the rapids less than
month ago, and climbed around the falls
and photographed them coming and go
ing. Two ladies' obligingly perched
upon d rock to furnish scale for the
height Of the fall, and the picture with
them in it indicates that the Raquette
descends not less than fifteen feet from
the first take-off to the plunge basin be-
low. Il does not do this all at once, but
Jumps four or five feet, then smashes
itself against the surface of rock, then
gets itself together for another jump.
The boat in which John and Adirondack
Murray seem to have negotiated this
descent was evidently the Adirondack
guide boat Of the present day, with not
more than three-eighths OF an inch of
wood between the navigator and the
most violent stretch of moisture be-
tween Little Forked and Upper Saranac.
The question which will never cease
being asked in the vicinity of Butter
milk Falls is, Did Adirondack Murray
shoot the rapids?" The answer, no
doubt. will endure as long as the rapids
run, and the fall continues to roar. Ask
Mrs. Obedia PIumbley and she will say:
John Plumbley always answered that
question one way. He said, Well,
Adirondack Murray was minister"

Fork. Ny daughter here ran out to see
il. The doe saw her. but kept on comm
right toward her. You better let her
into the barn told her; the dogs'll be
here before you know it, Sure enough,
into the barn they went, side by side,
the wounded deer and my daughter.
Somehow or other that doe knew that
there was a chance for her if she came
where we We're"
Mrs. Plumbley knew Adirondack Muir
ray, of course, but she had little to say
about him; the fact is, Of course, that
