Night Crossing
THE PASSENGER'S MIGRATION NORTH OVER THE GREAT LAKES WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IF NIGHT FELL BEFORE THE PASSAGE WAS COMPLETED, THE GREAT FLOCKS WENT INTO A PANIC, THEIR EYES NOT ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING IN THE DARK. THEY WOULD BEGIN TO CIRDLE IN DESPAIR OR FOLLOW THE LIGHT OF THE MOON UNTIL THEY FELL, EXHAUSTED, INTO THE DARK WATERS BELOW.
