Twelve miles farther down, the boat in which Brown, Hughes, and Reynolds were running a rapid capsized.

The men clung to her for a mile and a half and then succeeded in getting ashore.

The rapids in this part are very close together, and to these men it seemed like one continuous cataract, which it very nearly is.

On the same day another boat containing the cooking outfit struck a rock and went to pieces.

The provisions she carried were, most of them, contributed to the maw of the dragon to follow those of the unfortunate raft.
