"Is there any suspense that quite compares with that moment of committment when the canoe heads toward the lip of a long, roaring rapids and then is taken by its unseen power? At first there is no sense of speed, but suddenly you are a part of it...a sense of fierce abandonment when all the voyageurs of the past join the rapids in their shouting."
