Mr.. Bryant Going to Labrador to EK-
pIore the Big Cataract.

The mystery which has always hung
over the Grand falls. in the interior of
Labrador, is to be cleared away at last.
and in few months the scientific
world will know whether the falls in
Grand or Hamilton river are the greet
est in the world or whether the previ-
Gus accounts have been greatly exag-
gerated. Henry G. Bryant a member
of the Philadelphia bar, accompanied
by Prof. Remission Of Georgetown uni
versity. is now on his way to visit the
falls.
Only two white men have ever seen
the falls, so far as is known. and they
both place the height at 1000 feet.
Both of the men stood high in the SER
vice of the Hudson Bay company. and
though they saw the falls at different
times their accounts agree in nearly
every particular. Maclean, the first to
reach the scene. conducted an expedi-
ton into the interior ia 1889 and was
stopped by these falls. Kennedy
reached them under guidance of an
Iroquois Indian who had spent most
of his life in Labrador. The native In
dams give the falls wide berth, ow-
ing to tradition long current among
them that they are haunted by evil
spirits and that no man can look upon
them and live.
Above the falls the river is said to be
800 yards broad. contracting to so
yards at the falls themselves. II this
account be true, then in the whole
world there Is no other fall having
such volume of water descending at
a bound from such stupendous height.
Niagara's volume of water Is far
grester. but its height is only 164 feet.
The famous falls of Zambesi are but
100 feet. In the Yosemite valley there
is fall of 2, $50 feet. but this is broken
into three leaps. and the volume of
water is not equal to that of the Grand
falls of Labrador. Thus. taking into
account the combination of height and
volume, these Grand falls of Labrador
throw all others into the shade. A
fall of 1000 feet has generally been re-
garded as utterly inconceivable, how
ever. and various efforts have been
made to verify the reports of Maclean
aud Kennedy.
MIR. Bryant has carefully studied the
situation and has made his prepara-
tions with SO much care that his success
is regarded as assured. Besides him
self aud Prof. Remission Mr.. Bryant
hopes to take about eight Indians and
u white man for guide. if he can get
Que. The journey up the river will be
made in canoes, which must be carried
around the many rapids and falls.
