The current was about three miles an hour, with scarcely a ripple, though it appeared much swifter because of the nearness of the cliffs.

At the end of seven miles of winding canyon, there came a sharp turn to the east, which brought into view, at the other end, another canyon of nearly equal proportions and similar appearance.

In the bottom of this flowed a river of almost the same size as the Green.

The waters of the two came together with a good deal of a rush, the commingling being plainly visible.

Neither overwhelmed the other; it was a perfect union, and in some respects it is quite appropriate that the combined waters of these streams should have a special name to represent them.
