Logan and comjiany camjiod near the base of this aiugu lar peak, ami on referring to it in hi report Kir William mentioned sever al remarkable Indian legends which the Indians have connected it with. Ono of thorn was that the "thunder cod" need to sit upon the "Trem bling Devil" for three days in the spring, seven in summer, nve in au tumn and two in winter; that dur lug the time of his presence great chasms would open lu the sides ol Uic mountain, from which frighful noise proceeded, oocaaioually tongues ol fliune were emitted, especially dur ing tlio midmimnier sitting of the "thunder god. Geologists account for the origin of these myths on a scientific buais and explain them by telling us that Trembling mountain is slowly sink lug into the earth's crust, the "trem bling," "quaking," "groans" and "nobies" reported being the result of this phenomenon.
