A citizen of Parker come to the front with a statement which he thought would surely be a winner.
"Tell Boyton," he said to one of the newspaper men who followed by train from one station to the other along the river, "that he should stop off at Parker instead of Kittanning, because Parker is an incorporated town and Kittanning is not." Paul was not greatly refreshed by his rest at Emlenton.

He arose in the morning, stiff and swollen, his hands and face very much so, being slightly frost bitten and very painful.

He was somewhat depressed in spirits and said he could not reach Pittsburgh until Sunday.

He bravely entered the water, however, and that day he shot over Parker's Falls.
Before he reached Mahoning, a big crowd lined the bank awaiting his approach.

In the crowd was one of those wise bodies who are never to be fooled and who knows a thing or two about the ways of the world.
