The Abbie’s crew set out on an expedition to find waterfalls along the Black River. Mr. Clark decided to stay back and rest, and Howard Longyear went out fishing on his own. The other men went as a group. E.W. Sparrow took his Hawkeye camera, J.M. Longyear brought his Kodak and an ax, Dr. Tappey toted a gun. Mox carried J.M. Longyear’s big 5x8 camera. The men photographed six waterfalls, often taking daring shots. To get one picture, for instance, Mox gripped a tree with his legs and held J.M. Longyear by the ankles as he dangled over the edge of the waterfall with his Kodak. When they returned to camp they tended their many scrapes and bruises and went to bed early.
