River Tide, The Lynher Creek, about four miles below Natter bridge, joins 
St. German’s Creek, made by the River Tidi, which has its rife on 
the South fide of Caradon Hill, near Lifkerd, where there is a place 
called Tidicomb, another Tidewell ; and after dividing Quethiok parifh 
from Minheneth, it enters the parifh of St. German near Molinic, 
and about two miles lower becomes navigable at a place called Tidi- 
ford, (or the firft ford on the Tidi) about two miles lower, it 
wafhes the fides of the antient borough and formerly Epifcopal See 
of St. German, whence the Creek below is called St. German’s 
Creek ; and joining the Lynher, they both together proceed into 
the Tamar. 
SeatonRiver. Seaton is the next River : it rifes in St. Clare, about four miles 
to the North-Eaft of Lifkerd ; and palling within a mile of that 
borough to a place thence called Lanfeaton, goes through Min- 
heneth parifh, and dividing St. German’s on the Eafl from Morval, and 
St. Martin’s on the Weftern bank, falls into the Sea at Seaton, after 
a courfe of about twelve miles. The antient town, which probably 
gave name to this water, muft have lain at its mouth, or opening 
into the Sea ; but there are no remains to be feen : the town there- 
fore has probably been fwallowed up by the encroachments of the 
Sea, which in this place have been very confiderable, if we may 
regard the tradition of the neighbourhood. 
Loo, or Eaft Loo, or Eafl Loo b ,has its rife alfo in the highlands of St. Clare ; 
Loo River. an( j p a ff in g un der Lifkerd park, divides Keyne parifh from Lifkerd, 
then Morval from Dulo ; and becoming navigable at Sand-place, 
empties itfelf, about three miles after, between two little boroughs, 
which have their names, Eafl Loo and Weft Loo, from the River, 
as the River has its name from the large Pool, which it makes every 
full tide, between the two towns. Its whole courfe is about ten 
miles. Here is a flone bridge of fifteen arches', one hundred and 
forty-one yards long, and fix feet three inches wide betwixt the
