286:—"MAID OF THE MIST." NIAGARA FALLS. MAID OF THE MIST 1052 --- SEEING NIAGARA FALLS FROM "MAID OF THE MIST." One of the most interesting experiences of a visit to Niagara is a trip under the Falls, by means of Steamer "Maid of the Mist." The voyagers are swathed in oilskins as a defence from the saturating spray and the spectacle of the mighty volume of water, passing over the precipice 160 feet above, to fall in thunder on the rocks below is as magnificent as it is impressive.
