Norfolk on the "Harbinger." We
passed the first cut of five miles
through the narrow neck separat-
ing Currituck and Albemarle
Sounds in the night, but entered
the second, or main canal, about
eight o'clock in the morning, so
that we had an excellent view of
this extensive engineering work.
For an hour before reaching it
the steamer piled up a narrow,
torturous stream flowing largely
through Marshes, passing several
log RATS and lumber schooners on
the way. The "cut" is sixty feet
wide and seven feet deep through
dense forests with banks from four
to six feet high making the actual
depth of the excavation from eleven
to thirteen feet. With the Chesa-
peake and Delaware and Raritan
canals it forms the great inland
route from New York and Phila-
delphia to the South, many YES
sells preferring it to the stormy
ocean voyage around Hatteras.
Nearly through it we came up with
a large raft of pine logs several
hundred feet long in tow of an
ambitious little tug boat. "That
fellow is probably bound north"
said the captain of the Hardin
GER" He added that he thought the
fellow would go up Chesapeake
Bay to the head, then across by
the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal into the Delaware, AMI on up
that stream to Philadelphia. A
great many barges and lumber
schooners take that route, he said.
There is lock of about two feet
flal where the canal enters the
st. Mary's, that figure represent
ing the relative difference between
the two bodies of water.
The Chesapeake & Albemarle
Canal was begun, it is said, under
the impetus of speech delivered
in 1850 by Henry A. Wise and has
been open to commerce since the
Civil War. Its progenitor was the
Dismal Swamp Canal eighteen
miles west, connecting the Eliza
beth and Pasquotank Rivers, and
thus affording a second outlet from
the sounds. It is but IA feet wide
and four and one-half feet deep
AS long ago as 1870 Patrick Henry
advocated the opening of this
canal, and when company was
finally organized became one of the
first subscribers to the stock, his
name having been entered on the
books of the company at Williams
burg, Va. in 1871. The first vessel
a schooner, passed through it or
April %, 1923, and it was formally
opened December 81, 1928.

That he is dead-he is just away
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave Of

He has wandered into an unknown

And left us dreaming how very

there.
And you, oh you, who the widest

For the all-time stay and the glad

Think of him faring on, as dear

Think of him still as the same,

He is not dead-he is just away.
