 as far as the Hub lies over the high ground between the range 

 of hills in which the hot springs, Pier Munga, are situated 

 and the sea. Owing to a heavy fall of rain a few days previ- 

 ous to my departure, a large body of water was running in the 

 river, but on my return, I found only a small stream, which I
