"On my father's land there is a gorge, which at its deepest is over five hundred feet, and through which there runs a stream. There are a number of falls over bluestone or fieldstone ledges, and a couple of deep pools where there are brook trout. When my father said Fish Cabin he meant the stream, the gorge, and the land on either side of it. The ledges of bluestone and slate are stepped, and this makes the water fall in a series of white arcs, or arc in arc, silk water topped by fluff."
