I haven't been on all the other continents, but I don't believe they can show anything to beat it." "Have you seen much of the big lakes, Dave ?" "A lot of Erie and Ontario, but not so much of those farther west, Michigan, Huron and Superior, although they're far bigger and grander.
Nothing like 'em in the lake line in this world.

We don't know much about Superior, but I gather from the Indians that it's nigh to four hundred miles long, and maybe a hundred and fifty miles across in the middle.

What a power of water! That's not a lake! It's a fresh-water sea.

I've seen Niagara, too, Robert, where the river comes tumbling over two mighty cliffs, and the foam rises up to the sky, and the rainbow is always arching over the chasm below.

It's a tremendous sight and it keeps growing on you the longer you look at it.
