u 1856 was published in Harper's Magazine,
written and illustrated by a gentleman who
used the pseudonym of Porte Crayon." Like
most visitors until within the last 60 years. he
went in by way Of Suffolk, which means re
went by way of the Washington Ditch or the
Jericho Canal. We quote some of his remarks:
I'VE were in the swamp before was aware
Lofty trees threw their arcfling limbs over the
canal. Clothed to their tops with gauze-like
drspery Of tangled vines Walls OF matted
reeds closed up the view on either side
occasionally giving giimpses of black sullen
pools Thickets of myrtle, greenbriar, bay and
juniper hung over the black narrow canal The
boat could scarcely nnd passage between

a point. low. whispering ripple and tn.
sullen tramp, tramp Of the bargemen pro-
peliing my craft did not disturb the stiffness
The towpath became nothing more than a line
of juniper logs. laid along the bank among
the grass and reeds The overarching gums
gave place to . thick grove Of pointed juniper
trunks deadened by recent fire. We turned
a reedy point. The lake! Not strange
I tad seen it a Thousand times in my dreams
The broad expanse OF dusky water, with dim.
encircling shores. Dark. leaden waves rolling
over it to lose themselves in the reeds and
rushes. Gigantic skeletons Of cypress rising
grandly in the foreground dark contorted
limbs waving weepers Of funereal moss hung
almost to the water. complete picture OF
desolation Now the sullen CLOUDS
cleared away, and the sunset became glorious"
Washington visited the Dismal Swamp many
times and "encompassed the whole swamp" in
his researches. Local tradition has it that he
surveyed the route Of the Washington Ditch
He left no record of this however and the
opinion Of students of his life is that he him.
self did no surveying IN this region. The
Wa -hingtn Ditch and TIE Jericho Canal are
now in whole or part fallen into disuse, and
in some places are completely filled with fallen
trees. underbrush and leaves. Both were visited
in the early l90os by Charles Frederick STAINS
bury a poet and newspaper man, who described
them as beautiful but greatly neglected"
In his book, The Lake of the Great Dis
NAL" Stansbury desczibes his many trips to
Lake Drummcnd. He considers the tith Of the
swamp a nisnomer-the impression he OBJ
tai.sed from It vas supreme beauty" And
continues his praise with the words for here

there were dryer spots for repose, for Md

route. The latter was bought by the United
States Government some years ago and made
q free waterway and in 1880 the Dismal Swamp
Canal was also purchased, and the Army En-
gineers are now busily executing extensive
repairs and improvements to canal and locks, .
at the completion of which it will be thrown
open as an alternate route on ttis portion of
the Atlantic Intracostal Waterway" which
will eventually provide a sheltered passage
from New York to Southern Florida Wash
ington's prophetic utterance on the benefits
to be derived from inland navigation" Is being
vindfcated by established fact.
Gradual reclamation of small tracts Of land
have been going ON in the Dismal Swamp
Throughout the years. and the fertility Of these
is amazing. One Of the largest Is "Wallaceton,"
on the main canal near its junction with the
feeder" from the lake. Most OF the reclau.a-
tion has been on the edges, howevet. But the
thousand square miles of swamp has not been
materially reduced.
Few who hear the name ol the Dismal Swamp
think OF such prosaic things as drainage, rec
lanlation of lands, commerce, the maneuvering
of supplies in time Of war The very name to
most OF us means mystery, terror. gloom ani
deso,ation We may have read accounts of the
wild and natural beauties of the region, but
the impressions left by these are rstadowed
by stronger ones of eeriness and weird terror
This Is perhaps heritage from the times
when all who went into the swamp fought
thslr way, step by step, through underbrusf
and bog. When attention WAS concentrated on
finding a safe place to put tie foot one could
not te gazing at the delicate drapery of vines
festooning the magnificent trees overhead, or
follow the darting flights of brilliantly plumaged
birds with eyes which had to be alert for snakes
and other dangers.
So it may be but natural tina. not until the
nineteenth century do We find any descriptions
of the almost overpowerins beauties of the
swamp and its liquid keart, Lake Drummond
a gem of amber set in circlet of emerald
George Wsshington's comments we're strictly
cepts the remark that the trees ''lookt very
reverend with the long moss dangling from
their branches" Sir Thomas Moore on a visit
to Norfolk heard the legend of the crazed lover
who thought that his dead sweetheart had
gone to The Lake Of the Dismal Swamp"
where she padded her white canoe" and fol-
lowed her there. and Moores ballad with this
title written in tavern still said to be stand
ing on the main street in Norfolk on the eve
ming following lis journey to Lake Drummond,
has intrigued the interest OF thousands. But
this poetic version of the tragic tale gives no
feeling of the beauty Of the wild. rather it i'll
tensiies the weirdness Of the story with its
descriptions of the path of the unfortunate
youth:
Through tangled juniper, bed Of reeds.
Through many fen. tpherc the serpent

and tie statement that when he slept, IF
sleep his eyelids knew" he
