The water —wjiicji at that point (as the clinging memory of a plunge into it at $he close of July, 184^, stUI attests) is almost aa icv cold as it is at Mackinaw—is usually a foot or two hj^hei* ijp summer than it is in winter; but in some years the variation is equal to three or f'oui feet. Thjg represents, on so great a bocly^of water, an enormoiia differenpe.

About twenty years $<ro I had a run as express messenger west from Chicago several hundred miles.
