The Lake Gun / James Fenimore Cooper



The Seneca is remarkable for its "Wandering Jew," and the
"Lake Gun." The first is a tree so balanced that when its
roots are clear of the bottom it floats with its broken and
pointed trunk a few feet above the surface of the water,
driving before the winds, or following in the course of the
currents. At times, the "Wandering Jew" is seen off
Jefferson, near the head of this beautiful sheet; and next it
will appear anchored, as it might be, in the shallow water
near the outlet.
