CANOE CLUB TRIP

„ Thirteen members of the Ledyard Canoe Club made the trip by river from Hanover to the sea. The party left Hanover, Thursday noon. The only set-back of the trip was met that afternoon when one of the canoes was shattered on the rocks while shooting the rapids at Hartland. Early the next morning the party reached Bellows Falls and the following morning arrived at Turner's Falls, whence they proceeded to Holyoke where they camped for the night. At Hartford they were entertained at dinner Sunday by the Hartford Yacht Club. The following evening at 11 o'clock the party beached at Saybrook point. They returned to Hanover by train. But five portages were required, the Wilder dam, Bellows Falls, Vernon Falls, Turner's Falls, and the Holyoke dam. With the exception of the one night spent at Holyoke, the canoeists paddled all night, working in four hour shifts
