.ip.lo of the fact that a llirec-foot
flooil stage of water was en
iimrtercil In the tViujuhla river,
the boat was driven up that stream
lor Sis milt's or from the mouth
of Iho river at the I"nclftc nran
up to CellUi.Fulln. Wash. OviW this
portion of the Journey many swift
.mil dangerous rapliis were sue
cessrully negotiated.
One of the clnnost "siiueakB" tho
three men confi'sied experiencing
ociui-rf.i at ih.s time. Wille they
were cruis.ng at a fair speed,
here was a sudden bump, and all
were thrown u tho bottom of the

found their c-ra't almost split Into
two pnrui. Thry bail rammed a

tusk of repairing their battered
craft.
But despite this experience, Wil
ton. Hong and Woodbury did not
discontinue lhelr eastward Journey
until an eitrhteen-toot waterfall
absolutely blocked further prog

pulled out of tho water, loaded
into a box car and transported
across tho Continental D.vUlo to
tho head waters of the Missouri
river at Fort Benton. Montana ,i
distance of four hundred miles.
This portage could hardly,,', have
been avoided, for a motnrbont
could hardly cross tho Itocky
mountains. A
The eastward Journey was then
resumed down the Missouri rivor
for 2.880. miles without mishap,
passing through or touching seven
states and finally .entering the
&liss'ss?ppl.
After a run down the Mississippi
as far as St. Louis, the boat was
driven up tho "Father of Waters"
to the mouth of the Illinois river.
Proceeding up the Illinois as far
as the town of Ottawa, the travel
ers entered the Illinois and Michi

Jollet, Illinois. From there tho d!s.
