What a crackling sound it makes
as the ice chunks break off, then
as it comes down the river the
chunks are ground to bits. The
big chunks are pushed up on
the river banks, making a well,
and it wlH take quite awhile be
fore they melt away. James Fox
said he saw a beaver on a chunk
of Ice as it went by his place
which is located beside the river.
The beaver was jumping from
cake to cake of ice not seeming
to be very worried.
It is not
known the actual fate of. this
beaver, but it is thought he
went over the dam on the Fox
place and probably ground to
pieces with the ice.
