What follows is not directly related to the site, but part of an experience related to Cotton and the Niagara River. During 1889 we had the pleasure of a visit from Captain George B. Boynton, the former owner of Chicora in her blockade running days, who was delighted to renew acquaintance with his early ally. He gave us many reminiscenses of that stirring period, the narration of them cannot be done better than by giving extract by courteous permission of the publisher from his narrative as afterwards contained* under the heading "Looking for Trouble." Copyright, 1911, by Adventure Magazine, the Ridgway Company.
