Fole lowing Uie streatu iu his canoe, he was prooeedint gayly and swiftly down this river, which no wliite man had ever aeen before, wbeu " one evening." he aays in his journal. "the roar of a mighty OBfr aract burst upon our cars, warning us that dun^cr ?was at hand. We soon reaciied the spot, wblcb presennd to us one of the grandest spcctaclcs in the world. About six inUe. above the Call the river suddenly contracts from a width of frotu 400 to tioo yarda to about ioo yarda; then, roah. iug along iu a continuous f-aiuing rapid, linally contract- to a breadth of about fiftv yarda BK ll precipitates itwlf over the r?>ek which fornis the fall; when still roanug and foaraing, il pureuea its maddenci! eoaiBB for about a dlBtanee ol thirty miles, pent up between walls ot rook tliat tiafl some-inivs to the baiffhl of 300 feel an either side.

Such is the eoaeant oi the Qrand Fallfl on the Hauiiltou or Grand Hiver by MoLean, the first wbUe man who saw them, iu his "Notes ol ? Twenty-flve-Ycare Servfce in the Hadaon Baj Territory" ?a highly interesting book, pnbUshed nearly lifty years ago and now out of print, aad 1 believe very BSaiee. His desrriptioti is oorreot and graphic, though, as we shall see] he undcr estimated tbe keight of the falls by 11b' feet. He tried hard to pet hit. oaaoe with the bl sarried putrt the fells* aud beyond this huge wii.d ing canon, so as tv launch it agala and follow the river to tha sea. All in vaiu. After BtTOggling for a whole day through boga, BwaiapB and fallen tree!?, he found the river inaceessihle, and at len?th gave up the atteinpt aad retumed to the T>ost whence he started. The falls eould not be circumvented; and he _ays "with heavy heatte and weary limbs we letrnced otir stejis.'' For twenty years after McLeau's vi.sit the Grand Falls were left to thunder on in their soli tud. in this land of dewdatlon. No Lidian would approach them, &6 tbey have a flrmly believeii tia dition that no one can look ii|>ou them and live. Tbey are said to >>e the abode of evil BpiritB who are flittinj; about under the mist-eunopy that shrouds the dreadftil bofliBf oaldroo. Thirty years ago, however, a Mr. KeBBedy who ht .1 charae of Fort Nascofiee? a tradlag jm>it of the Hudson llay OoapaBJ, <>u Lake Petehikapoa, re solved to v_.it tlie falls. He lueceeded In ln ducinp an Iroquois Imlian who aras :>t the for*. to act as his guide. Thia Lndiaa, who is still alive. rejoiced in the name of Lonia-OTer-the-flre and did not sluvre tlie suix'rstitious dread of ihe falla common among the Lahradoi Indiana. SUmjdated by the white man _ irold, he led the wap am! besiile the awful ohasm. I am not aware that any account of lOniie.lyV visit has ever been piven to tlie world ; but the tradirions of tlie Hadaofl C>;".' Company and tbe livlng testimony of Louis put it beyond doubt. For thirty years more the Grand Falls were lefl in their solitary graadenr amid their grim roundincs. No humau ear listcned to their deep tliunder-tones; no huiuati eye marked tlie wild l^aut^- of the setie, or the glories of the rain bow playinc on the great "pillai of cloud." Tlie Indian trail which led to Fort Naaoopee, on Lake Petchikapon. and catne wittiin lift.v miles ot the falls, was dlanacd. as the Hndaon Bay Company abandoned tliat pust soaae tweuty-si'ven yeara Bffo; bo that no one ever atteinpted io aseend Grand Kiver. Tlie story of the falls becasM a dim tra dition and was ahnost forgotten. HOI.MF.'s TRIP BP IHE hTRF.\M. At -BMrth, in ls^7. Mr. Baodale 1".
