I am told that the Name of Jinnett [-^"^^s?- Taradife^ was given 

 to This Place upon Account of a Row-Boat having been once 

 very providentialy conduced within the Creek, when the Ma- 

 riners expe6ted every Moment to have perilhed. The Sea 

 Shore, which from Temendfufe to This Place is very little inter- 

 rupted with Rocks and Precipices, begins now to be rugged and 

 mountainous: and below fome of Thefe Eminences, three 

 Leagues farther to the E. we have the iMouth of the Booherak, 

 the Eaftern Boundary of This Province. 



The_ Boobe- ^\^q Boohemk hath If s principal Sources among the Zwo- 

 14/ah^ ten Leagues to the S. E, When It hath difengaged It- 

 felf, by a Number of deep Windings, from their mountainous 

 Diftrict, and entreth the Se-howe, It changeth It's Name to 



or Niffah, JSlijfJah. Over againft the Burgh, It receiveth the Bugdoora, a 

 conliderable Stream, coUefted from the feveral Rills that de- 

 fcend from Jurjura, and the neighbouring Mountains, and then

 ly Direction, turns at once, through the Mountains of the ^- 

 delwairet, to the Northward, and carrieth the Name of Boo- 

 herak to the Sea. I crofled This River in Maj^, three Weeks af-
