There was one second-year man who sang a song "Down in the Lehigh Valley" and another who gave imitations of Temple Boyle and other instructors at their work of criticising and painting for the benefit of the class. These were greatly enjoyed. Finally one of the models, after much calling by the crowd of "Desmond!
The two companies were immediately amalgamated under the title of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company and by 1823 had sent over two thousand tons of coal to market.
I had known him before at Lehigh in his undergraduate days, and had played on the same teams with him. In after years we were officials together in a great many of the big games where feeling ran high and manliness and fairness, as well as judgment, were often put to a pretty severe test at short notice.
In their half of the inning, West Point put men on first and second, but that was the best they could do. So it dragged along to the seventh inning. Army rooters were now sure that West Point's star pitcher had been found at last, and that Lehigh would have rare luck to score again today. But West Point didn't seem able to score, either, and Lehigh had the one needed dot.
Jackson Harmar said that some of the writers of the day might learn from him. "Of course, Murray and Lester lived through the war, went home to the banks of the Lehigh, and married the girls they loved," remarked Wilson. "They did; and two very happy couples they made.
Supposing, for example, that the regular number of the Lehigh Valley train was always numbered '9, then every man who purchased a ticket for a point on the Lehigh Valley would be given the ticket '9. Then, when the boat that was taking the passengers for Lehigh Valley points left Ellis Island, all the 9's would be gathered together and no one would be left behind."
This rolling washed the bilge water up on the plates in the stoke hold and lifted them, so that the small Welsh coal, like the Lehigh stuff you get here, was washed into the limber and choked the pump suctions. Very soon the bilge began to fill. The old ship was leaking like a basket any way, and she took a heavy list to port.
In 1813 the company made a third attempt and granted to a private concern a lease of the entire property on the condition that ten thousand bushels of coal should be taken to market annually. Difficulties immediately made themselves apparent. No contractor could be found who would haul the output to the Lehigh River for less than four dollars a ton, and the man who accepted those terms lost money.
Lehigh began to grin with the ease of the thing now. One after another men walked to bases on called balls, until all of the bags were occupied. Suddenly Kennedy, after taking a twist on the ball, signaled Maitland. The captain turned the umpire and spoke. "Kennedy's old trick! He's gone stale and Tatham is down at hospital," passed from mouth to mouth among the home rooters.
His scrap-book of that time shows that in 1884 Life published a short burlesque on George W. Cable's novel, "Dr. Sevier," and in the same year The Evening Post paid him $1.05 for an article about "The New Year at Lehigh."
