was much less surprising than tn&t she

il was possible that the adventure might

stances. she had reached the end of her
initiative, however, and the leadership
m w rested with me.
We fought our way along in silence for
about ten minutes. a hollow sound, aud
ible from the first, had grown stronger
and ronge above the rush and tumult
of the torrent. Now the channel OF the
stream narrowed, and its banks became
mere masses Of nearly naked rock through
which the yellow waters boiled and
fonmed like the rapids OF n miniature Nj
agara. We crawled round n huge bowl
der. and beheld n sig Int worth seeing. An
archway Of black rock spanned the cur
rent; above IL was the apparently solid
earth, with ancient trees growing upon
it's surface; below was a black vault, like
the yawning mouth OF some nameless
monster OF fariarus. Into this bottom
less nav leaped headlong the whole mass
OF waters, and were utterly swallowed
up, with a ~Iong-drawD, cavernous roar,
appalling TO hear. But just nj the lip of
the fall a peak of jagged rock thrust 1t
self above the swirl of tho rapids, like a
tusk i'm the monsters jaw, and divided
the stream right and left. Imoge grasred
