While canoeing on the Great

Lenape, Maurice McCrossan, title
searcher for the Atlantic Title Co,
he'd a narrow escape from a big
rattlesnake which was coiled and
ready to strike at him when he
heard the rattle of the enraged
reptile.
McCrossan was slowly padding
along the bank of the stream,
under the branches of the over
hanging trees, and was about to
step ashore when he heard the
deathly rattle, with which he was
familiar while in Florida. He
looked where the sound came from,
almost alongside of him, and saw
the vicious head raised above the
serpent's coils. He estimated that
it was between four and five long,
with a large circumference.
Having no club handy and not
wishing to risk breaking his
