With two or three more feet of water we could have run some that were now impossible.
Fortunately there was always plenty of room on both banks, the cliffs being well back from the water.

A series of small rapids gave us no special trouble, and having put them behind, we ran in at the head of a rough-looking one, had dinner, and then made a let-down.

Starting on, we soon came to a very sharp rapid, which we ran, and found it was only an introduction to one following that demanded careful treatment.

Another let-down was the necessary course, and when it was accomplished we stopped for the night where we were on the sand, every man tired, wet, and hungry.

We had made only four miles.
