It has been decided by the Philip.
pine government to make a complete
exploration and survey of the sunken
river in Palawan for the purpose Of
bringing il TO public notice as a show
place for tourists. The entrance 10
the sunken river is through low gate

from stone ceilings hang hundreds Of
bats. The current in the river is gen
orally swift, varying with the rainfall,
by which 1t is fed from some point in
the interior of Palawan.
The first American TO enter the
mystic river was the late Governor
Miller of Palawan. An cid Moro told
him of its existence and said II had
for years been used as a retreat for
pirates and other freeboofers The
Moro agreed to guide him to the
river and pilot him through its black
recesses, and die so
But Miller had only candles to fur
nish light and bis exploratory work
was necessarily incomplete. He as
cended the river for a distance esti-
mated at five miles and marked the
