Miles. 

 1 Hailkurree. A gut or strait, between perpendicular, precipitous 

 cliffs, 20 and 30 feet high, near the right bank. Deep water 

 and slight current ; width 70 or 80 yards. A very remarkable 

 passage.

 water ; a bad place for whirlpools, as the villagers say. 

 Serkurree, on the right bank. 



Serkurree barrier and rapid, called Gulchee Ghat or Tar, a very, 

 very, very bad passage : rocks across from bank to bank, some 

 just above the water, some under. The latter are the worst ; 

 only one difficult channel in the middle about 40 feet wide ; deep 

 water. Current rushing. Half the day lost in bringing the 

 boats over. 

 For 100 -yards channel from bank to bank, hen rocks. A 



whirlpool and then a very deep pool.

single mango tree on the left bank points out the spot.

deep pool.
