(diary excerpt) March 29, 1848: Our day's adventures were hindered by the disturbance in flow of the Niagara waters. Those who were present, witnessed the oddity of nature and ascended upon the former natural wonder with impromptu fluidity, only to find what had become no more than a large slab of limestone. I reckon, to the onlooker, the scene would have resembled a colony of penguins milling about. Needless to say, our canoes were far too fragile to be made use of.
