THE SUBTERRANEAN VOYAGE,
^ o«
THE MAMMOTH CAVE,
PARTIALLY EXPLORED.
('From a gentleman tn Fowling Green, Kentveky, to
hi* Jr tend in Ktueefoiilc J
Bowling-Green, January 21st, 1310.
My Dbak W.
Tow may perhaps not deem it
uninteresting to have some information respect
ing the largest cave now known. It lies about
«'gbt miles from the Dripping Spring, u little
south of cast, near Green River, in Warren coun
ty. The surrounding country is composed of
knobs not unlike those in the 'barrens generallv.
The mouth of the cave is situated on the ndtth
•ide of one of those knobs. We descended ab
ruptly about fifty or sixty feet, when the mouth
presented iteelf complete ; it is arched over by
» large ledge of rock*, from which issues a clear
fountain ; from this the workmen are supplied
with a sufficiency of water tor their salt petre
works ; it falls perpendicularly fifty feet. In re
moving the earth Dear the mouth for the purpose
of erecting furnaces, several human skeletons
were discovered, of a size unusually large ; one
of the former proprietors of the cave, a stout man,
compared the aize of the under jaw bone with
iiis own, and found tl , it would easily pass over
his, the other bones were ol u corresponding size.
The aalt petre earth commences witli the cave,
And continues so far as has been examined, which
is about aevcB miles. .In passing what is called
the narrows, you are obliged te walk half berit,
these continue about a quarter of a mile ; in this
pass there is constantly a strong current of air i
the six cold months the air rushes into the cave,
the other six it issues from it; this is easily ac
counted for by all men of science. At the termi
nation of these narrows, you are ushered into
cne of the most sublimely beautiful and pictu
resque amphitheatres in the world ; it expands
to 6ixty or seventy feet wide and as many deep.
The moat elaborate effort of the pencil would
fail to do justice to the rich scenery and varied
drapery with which the senses are delighted.—
Immediately on entering this large room,you ex
perience a sudden changeof the air from a chil
ling cold to a heat oppressive ; here some of our
companions pulled off their outer clothing, and
left them till we returned- We progressed but
A little way before we discovered innumerable
quantities of bats which had taken refuge there
from the severities of the season ; they were sus
pended from all parts of the rocks by their claws,
with their heads down, and crowded so close
that they, resembled a continued black cloud ;
they appeared much disturbed at our intrusion
■which they manifested by a disagreeable hissing
or twittering none, and so tenacious were they
of the hold which instinct had caused them to
take, the) would suffer themselves t» be burnt to
death sooner than relinquish it. At the distance
of about half's mile, there are two branches ma
king out at right angles on either side ; the one
•n the south-weit which is called the little room
we examined ; here the earth Is sufficiently im
pregnated with nitre to yield eight k ten pounds
to the bushel ; it has a fine spring where it a
divides into the upper and lower rooms ; in
tiie upper there is a fissure in the roek sufficient
ly large for a man te enter, where you have the
appearance ef the different orders of Gothic ar
chitecture, columns, mouldings and pilasters in
embossed and stucco work, elegantly wrought by
the friction of water constantly dripping from a
hove ; the heights of these columns are to great
that with the assistance of all our light we could
not discover where they terminated.
Some distance further along, we passed what
is called tiie sick room, in censsquence of an at
tempt being made to explore it, which proved un
successful ; the person who made the attempt,
first felt a nausea and general debility, which
was succeeded by violent puking ; they very pru
dently retreated and have never since entered it;
we-aupposed the existence of mephitic gas, and
thought it most prudent to pass without entering.
At about two miles from the entrance we found
Glauber and Epsome salts, with Ochreous earths
of different colors ; here the whole surface of the
rocks are incrusted with stalactites of half an
inch in thickness ; the rocks are so strongly im
pregnated with the salts, that they burst through
the incrustation and exude in octahedral, hexahe
dral, and rhomboidal prisms, and more frequent
ly in curved rhombs. Nothing can exceed the
brilliance of the scene ; figure to yourself a ca
JRupy irradiated witli ten thousand diamonds, snd
.you will have a faint idea of its lustre. The salts
Are in a virgin state, and effloresce when brought
3n contact with atmospheric air; they continue
for half a mile and are often of indeterminate
forms : at times the whole surface of the rocks
appear as if covered with new <Mlen snow. V/e
mat on for several miles, often passing branch
es of the cave, making out at right, acute and ob
tuse angles from what we supposed to be the
main body ; when we approached near the end,
we came to a fountain falling from the roof as the
first, forming a basin o! about thirty feet deep,
this we descended and crossed, in going a few
paces we came to another ef the same size,
which we went round on the edge of a precipice,
»nn suon alter came to uic enu, wmcn terminates
abiuptly; here at the extreme parts we found
bats, which caused us to determine that there
were other outlets, because, till we reached the
end we had not seen any bats for some miles_
"V/e passed one very extraordinary room, it is so
formed that a voice at the entrance pronouncing
a word, in reverberated distinctly six times ;* for
Ike want of time and light, we did not enter, but
had our information freui those who have wrought
at the cavs some year*. At the end or near it,
•f the first branch, it makes a short turn, we then
pursued this branch nearly in a retrog ulr directi
on, till we supposed we were under the bed of
Green river ; at or near the tei nination of this
branch we found glauber salts and nitrate of lime
in much greater abundance than before ; at one
place particularly, I crept into a small cavity,
where not only the rocks but the earth appeared
to be at least formed one half of regular formed
ehrystals of glauber salts ; I have no doubt but
that a great deal of the eaitli is impregnated with
borax.
From the entrance to the extreme part of our
traveli there appeared a beaten track on the
rocks i they vOre worn fjuitr smooth, the remains
of cane torches w ere plenty as far a* we went:
several mocasins curiously wrought from the
bark of the Lyn tree were found, also many poles
of considerable length which appeared to have
been cut with stone hatchets ; muscle shells were
found six or seven miles from the entrance with
many other vestiges of the cave having formerly
been a place of great resort by the aborigines of
North America In many paita there is the up
pearauce of great labor in removing the stones,
in others where they had been piled up to get at
the salts. In many places we discover rats and
reptiles. Generally speaking, the cave is very
dry, and the air salubrious ; we judge of the lat
ter from the facility with which combustion went
on, our tapers burnt much more In ilhant than
tvheu in the common air, owing we supposed to
t’.ie presence M a greater proportion ot the uxi*
gen gas. The bottom of the cave is generally co
vered with lime stone, which appears at difler
eni times to have been detached from the roof
•i ceiling. When we were near the end of the
last Branch we explored, our friend, Mr. Curiosi.

when attempting to snuil'his candle, he put it out
—he was obliged to sit in the dark and halloo, af
ter some time he made himself heard, when we
dispatched a messenger for him, and sounded a
retreat. On many stones we found rude charac
ters traced, specimens of which 1 have in my
pocket book. After about five hours travel, we
reached the mouth again much fatigued.
