The present composition was originally created by Frank E. Schoonover as an illustration for Laurie York Erskine's "Why Craig Laughed" in the May 1940 issue of The American Boy--Youth's Companion. The work depicts the story's line: "As the canoe swept by, Tom caught a glimpse of Crawford, but what he saw sent through him a chill of horror."

Unfortunately, on March 2, 1950, the original painting was destroyed in a cabin fire in Vermont. That same year, at the request of the work's owner Mr. William Stainer, Schoonover painted the present version to replace the lost work.
