2
experiance and on I shall not soon forget;
the river just below the falls in 200 ft deep
The burning spring is quite a curiosity, being
impregnated with gass to such an extent that
by lighting a match and holding it over, the whole
spring will ignite like a gass jet. The next and
in some respects the greatest curiosity, is the
whirlpool & rapids where capt Weeb was drowned
here the river makes a complete elbo like this
[FIGURE] you see the stream passes in on the right side
making a complete circle to the left passing out
under the incoming stream, at this point the
suction is so strong, it will draw a large
boat under, across the mouth where the line
is drawn is 1860 ft, the deepest part 300 ft. Well
I will tell more about it when I get home. I
am figuring on that problem you gave me
& will probably have the answer again I get home.
Rolled out of Clifton well pleased withe our
days experiance, with a light heart & a lighter
pocket at 4:30 PM. You have heard ere this I
suppose concering my experiance at sea, one
thing I forgot to mention, was that we passed
through a large school of Whales on the trip
