IE yeUow floods of tEc 
Madeu'a rush, roaring 
and splasliing, at a 
fiu-ious rate over tEe 
dark rocks in tEe mid- 
dle of tEe stream, quite 
a new and refresEing 
sigEt after tEe mono- 
tonous scenery of its 
lower coiu’se. MigEty 
blocks of a gneissose 
inetamorpEic rock, tlien 
smootE jagged points resembling a wildly waving sea, line continuously 
botli tEe sEore and tEe isles. 
Opposite a rocky iskmd wEicE divides tlie river into two imeqnal 
arms, some straw Exits are almost entirely concealed by tEe dense 
sErubbery. TEcy are tEe remains of a Brazilian outpost, abandoned on 
account of tEe fevers ; but no trace is loft of tEe Mission, Santo Antonio, 
founded in 1737 by tEe Jesuits, and transposed after a sEort duration to 
Ti'oeano and Araretama (Borba); tlic builtlings, probably, Eaving been 
only liglit cottages.
