races past; the dashing spray turns to
ice on either side; even the brink of the
precipice is a jagged mass of crystal. It
was in the torrent in the foreground
that the mysterious Francis Abbott, the
Hermit of the Falls, lost his life. He
lived for two years on one of the islands
in Niagara River above the Falls. No
one knew whence he came. The waters
fascinated him, and in the end, one
bright day in June, sixty-one years ago,
they lured him to his death. A week
afterward the torn and mangled body of
the hermit was found at the mouth of
the river and buried within sound of
the Falls that he loved sb well.
