WE started early the next morning up Bog River, intend- ing to reach the " first chain of ponds, " some twenty miles deeper in the wilderness, as the stream runs, on the banks of which our pioneer had been instructed to pitch our tents. This day's journey, it was understood, would be a hard one, as there were eight carrying places, varying from ten rods to half a mile in length. The Bog River is a deep, sluggish stream for five or six miles above the falls, just at the lake. It goes creeping al...ong, among, and around immense boulders, thrown loose, as it were, in mid channel. At this distance, the stream divides, the right hand channel leading to the two chains of ponds and Mud Lake, where it takes its rise ; and the left to Round Pond, and little Tupper's Lake, and a dozen other nameless sheets of water, laying higher up among the mountains. Our course lay up the right hand m THE FIRST CHAIN OF PONDS. 125 channel, which, for half a mile above the forks, comes roar- ing and tumbling through a mountain gorge, plunging over falls, and whirling and surging among the boulders, in a de- scent of three or four hundred feet in all.
