‘More Adventures Aboard Canoe
Bs Explorers Turn Homeward
In a fascinating diary of five days of high adventure on the Susque-
hanna, John Butler, Leader of St.
(! trials, tribulations and triumphs of his boys.
last week is continued in this edition.
TUESDAY, JUNE 30
Arose at 7:00. [Pioneer still
leaked so we delayed to fix it.
Started 8:10. Everything went
along fine until 11:55. I remember
the time because my watch finally
stopped due to flooding conditions.
Oh Yes! This time I am in the
Ibex. We were rounding a curve
to the right and we came upon a
spit rapid about 20 feet wide
ing to the left. Protruding out
over and into the water was a tree.
The tree protruded out about 10
feet. Three canoes made the curve
and past the tree alright. The Nan-
De-Car with Charles Glawe in the
stern and John Butler, Jr., in the
prow made it past the tree, then
the current caught the canoe and
pulled it back upstream. It then
circled right into the path of the
containing Tim, Matt and
Mr. . B. We were headed to
strike them amidship on the star-
board side. I was yelling for them
to get out of the way but later I
realized how silly it was because
| they were trying to avoid the same

tree we were. I saw an opening
about two feet wide along the shore
and we tried to squeeze in there.
‘When I came up from under the
canoe I heard this awful tearing
we I could only think that the
cioe was being torn to shreds
and if so where were the scouts. I
first saw the Nan-De-Car bottom
then I saw [Tim hanging to a
ch of the tree, legs fully ex-'
So we washed and polished it. We
tended from the force of the cur-
rent, and Matt right behind me
collecting anything that floated out
Then I looked down
stream to see where the others
were. They had beached their
canoes and were running as hard
as they could to help us.
We finally pulled them ashore
and emptied them out. I received
a busted lip from trying to grab
the tree, Ed lost $11.00 and his
wallet, which he had in his jeans,
I guess he was going to try to
trade with the natives. TI lost a
pair of shorts. One benefit de-
rived was lost, I slipped my Disc
lifting a box of food at Owego, I
wasn’t very comfortable. This set
it back in place. T am very proud
of our Explorers for their quick
actions in the emergency. We
swam and played in the rapids for
about half an hour, and did we
have fun.
Towanda 1:30. We trooped into
town as we were except we wore
» hats for identification.
We stopped at Dave Lafy’s Bar
and Grill. I walked in and asked
“we could be fed. We sure could
¥1 we were. Dave played a
player piano for the boys and a
phonograph with a cylinder type
record.
After lunch the explorers asked
if we could stay at Towanda. We
met Dave again at the ACME, I
asked him if he knew of a place
to camp. He said to wait until
he got his car and we would see
some of his friends. [He talked to
a few, then we stopped at Wilsons,
who said of course they would be
glad to have us.
We rode back to Towanda and
Therese’s Explorer Post relates the
The story which began
picked up our groceries. We needed
ice and Dave said we could have
all we needed and he wouldn't
take a cent. After we pitched our
tents at Wilsons, we made our
beds, then walked down to the
river and had a bath. When we
came’ up Mrs. Wilson had the hose
ready and rinsed us off. Once
again we hiked about a mile into
tewn. Since Mr. Lafy had been so
good we decided to patronize him,
and had another lunch about a
dollar apiece. z
The picture, “South Pacific” was
in the theatre. I had seen it so I
walked to camp. I found we had
been visited by some high winds,
and later found out it was part of
a tornado that had done a lot of
damage six miles away. The tents
were down and it started to rain.
Just as I had the tents up and
tight the rain stopped.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 1
7:00 a.m. — They were tired and
wanted to stay here for another
day. We forgot to buy milk so I
asked Mr. Wilson if they had any
extra. They didn’t but he said he
would drive me into Wysock to
buy it. We also bought some ice.
Steve said to ask him if we could
stay. Mr. Wilson laughed, because
Mrs. Wilson had said they are
tired and T'll bet they will want to
stay over.
His car was dirty and Steve
asked if they could wash it. He
said that was a very nice gesture.
paddled the canoes up river for a
free ride in the rapids. Soon the
‘canoes were being upset and we
had another good time. After lunch
tall except John and I went to
town, John was tired and I had
blisters on both feet.
I started supper, we had two
hams with seven pounds of potatoes
and peas .
We went back to Towanda and
it rained. We tried to call home,
(someone called home every night
to say where we were and o.k.)The
pay phone wasn’t working so I
bumped ‘it and we hit the jack-
pot, 6 nickels came out. We tried
to put them back but they kept
coming out. We walked to an-
other pay phone and told the oper-
ator what happened. She laughed
and we put the nickles in that
phone. We received a ride to Wy-
sock. Two weird movies were in
the drive-in. -I had a root beer
and walked about 2 miles when a
Meredith Wilson picked me up. He
was the son of our host. He said
he was a pro. auctioneer, so I told
‘him about the Dallas Auction. He
had heard of it and visited the
‘auction later and came over to the
block to say hello.
THURSDAY, JULY 2
We thanked the Wilsons, they
said to make this our stop next
year and we said we would.
On the river at 9:00. A couple
hours later two canoes had moved .
out quite a way in front. Pat
asked a fisherman in a motorboat
for a tow, he surprised Pat and
said yes. The three canoes hooked
on, one on either side and one in
back. He towed us about a mile

down river, we caught up with the
other two at the Standing Stone.
We swam for about one half hour.
We were almost at Wryalusing
when it started to pour rain. By
now we had a system, the tents |
were put up, then we brought our
packs up, made our beds, dressed
and waited for the rain to stop.
Allowed $1.25 for a meal. Called
Aome to tell my wife we would be
in Laceyville about 1:00 p.m. Fri-
day and we would pull out. Mr.
Schmidt camping next to us drove
two miles so we could get some
water. Mr. and Mrs. Silic and
Mrs. Hudak were up to see us. We
sent everything we did not need
back with them.
FRIDAY, JULY 3
Last breakfast. Last prayer at
the water edge. Mr. B. riding
in the Rockin Robin, because of
being in every mishap, Steve and
Bill said, “Oh! Not that please.”
We stopped once to let all the
canoes catch up, then sent them on
ahead. We soon passed them. Yes!
It happened again. The Rock en-
tered a rift with waves about 15
inches high and in came the water.
We had to stop and bail out.
Everyone passed us out and left
the Rock far behind. The Rock
with Steve and Bill and the Jinx
Mr. B. wanted to come into Lacey-
ville first. They put on the steam.
Three paddles churning the water,
passed the Pioneer, then the Ibex,
then the Sha-Bar. The Nan-De-
Car was way out front and didn’t
intend to be passed. The Rock
closed the gap but was still 20 feet
away when Mr. B. said pull in to
shore. Both canoes strained for
shore, Charles Glawe was about
one half step and twenty feet
ahead of Steve. Then the ribbing
started. The great Rock was de-
feated.
Following the Rock, the Sha-Bar
came in 3rd, Ibex 4th, Pioneer 5th.
John Butler Jr., and Charles Glawe
were in the Nan-De-Car, Bill Car-
roll, Steve and Mr. B. were in
the Rock, Bob Wolensky and Dan
Malloy in Sha-Bar, Eb Friar and
Matt Gillis in the Ibex, Pat Malloy
and Tim Carroll in the Pioneer. I
walked across the river to the
home of the Whipples. Mrs. Whip-
ple said we could pull out on her
lawn and could change our clothes
in ‘her basement. We all walked
to the center of the bridge hum-
ming Taps, with our helmets held
on our chests we threw our river
shoes in ‘the river. We ate in the
restaurant’ across from Gavey’s.
We had $13.01 left in our fund
and our bill came to $12.95. Our
waitress was so confused with the
multiple orders and re-orders that
she had the bill figured wrong.
The proprieter refigured it and
said, “Just give me $11.00 and for-
get it.”. The .cars arrived and we
started home ending trip number
8.
