This is one of a series articles by Burt Gres Liam on an air visit to the newly discovered Gold mines the Northwest territories. By but Gresham. Fort Smith Rapids of the mighty slave taken their toll of the Brave men and fools who through the years attempted to run the White water. Hence their of the drowned. Some of the voyageurs who gasp Derby. De their last in this stretch of White water were Foolhardy some were overconfident of their River skill others were in a hurry and decided in their haste to take a Chance. Whatever their reasons Many of them met their end As their canoes and shows crashed on the Treacher Ous Rock fangs and swamped in the boiling mad water race. In Dian and White Man priests Gold seekers scientists trappers and travellers have perished until now Only the Foolhardy seek to pass Down the rapids instead of taking the 16-mile Long Portage route. Through the years a legend has sprung up that the spirits of those that drowned still haunt the rapids in some versions the Story has it that the spirits Are the White Peli cans that sit Serene on the rocks in the Falls. Since time immemorial be that As it May the pelicans have been at the rapids since time immemorial. Alexander Macken Zie the great explorer saw the magnificent Birds at the rapids in 1789, when on his Way to the Frozen Arctic Ocean and few of the travel lers Down the slave since have passed the rapids without some reference to the pelicans. For one thing it is the farthest North record of these Birds. Swinging in from Goldfields to fort Smith with Rudy Heuss can Adian airways Pilot i caught my first sight of the pelicans from the air. Later when smoke from the Forest fires prevented travel i could plainly see them through the Field glasses As they fished and rested on the rocks across the River. After two Days watching the Birds and the River boiling Between i was seized with a determination to see them at close Range to photo graph their Graceful inspiring flights and perhaps. The Field glasses revealed a pos sible Way. Instead of coming Down the River to the pelicans and having my spirit becoming one of the big Birds it might be possible to go upstream dodging from Rock to Rock cutting in behind the eddies and avoiding the tossing Breakers. Such a plan required a sturdy boat experienced rive men and a Crew that would take a Chance without being too reckless. Finally i located. Clarence Hornick former Manitoba Farmer who had migrated to peace River and thence North Ward to fort Smith. We talked the trip Over. Hornick said that he thought it could be done. He d like to see the pelicans closer he said and anyway it would be fun to try and work up Stream through the rapids. He agreed to take me across and rounded up Clare Soloman and Leonard Peckham partners of his went ashore we started off across the River and reached the East Side without any trouble in the Chipewyan scow powered by an outboard motor. At the foot of the rapids we landed or a Rocky Island went ashore and reconnoitre a the situation. Two Hundred herring gulls on the Island mobbed us swooping Down Ano knocking off our hats As we went near their nests. Huge Trees now polished Drift Wood were lodged against the up Stream Side. These gave us an idea and after a Briel struggle we bridged the Gap. Soloman and Peckham experienced River hogs that they were walked the slip Pery log lightly As a cat. I crawled on hands and Knees and wished i had t Ever left the cosy hotel at fort Smith. Hornick tossed us a rope got in the boat and started the motor. We hauled the motor roared and we had him with us on the Island. For free hours we battled upstream irom Rock to Rock and from Island of Island to the pelicans resting place. It was then 9 o clock at night Dut Bright Daylight in those nor Thern latitudes. The pelicans took to the air but circled gracefully around us Evi Dently wondering who was invading their perhaps getting ready to Welcome four More pelicans. There were no nests. After the camera had clicked its last film of the Majestic Birds we started downstream taking a Small Side Channel. Hornick studied the Channel said it would be easy to run if he could find their avoid one Curling wave. We started the motor the current caught us and we hurled downstream at a dizzy Pace. The Whitewater slap Ped the Bottom of the boat jarring and battering the sides. At the critical moment Cool headed Hor Nick swung hard on on the rudder the water shot High Over our Heads and we passed under an Arch o Spray. We were through. The pelicans soared majestically overhead As we swung downstream Twenty minutes later we were at fort Smith. Two Days later my Knees stopped shaking.
