I walked up it, to and over rocky ledges, down which at times, no doubt, small leaping torrents roar.

Very little of yesterday's rain had fallen here; but most fortunately I found one small rock reservoir, with just sufficient water for all the horses.

There was none either above or below in any other basin, and there were many better-looking places, but all were dry.

The water in this one must have stood for some time, yesterday's rain not having affected it in the least.

The place at which I found the water was the most difficult for horses to reach; it was almost impracticable.
