8(5 Account of the Great Waterfalls of Rewah. 
dell not so confined, nor the banks so uniformly steep, as Kai- 
outee ; and, although the depth is so much more, the scenery is 
not so rugged and picturesque, and does not inspire the same 
emotions on beholding it. 
To the brink of the precipice over which the water runs, on 
either side of the stream, the country is level, and abounding in 
vegetation, which affords a fine contrast to the rocky cliffs be- 
low, and transports the eye in an instant from the extremity of 
sameness and flatness, to that of ruggedness and grandeur. This 
glen is more extensive than the other, and, a short way from the 
Fall, branches off to the right and left; the former, I believe, 
is the main outlet to the stream, which afterwards joins the 
Touse in a valley called the Terai. We descended here like- 
wise, crossed the nullah at the bottom, which is broad and ra- 
pid, and ascended by the other side, with much difficulty and 
exertion, owing to the closeness of the jungle. By moonlight, 
I was told, though I did not visit it myself, that the Fall had a 
beautiful silvery appearance, and was altogether more imposing 
and solemn, from the silence and stillness of the hour. 
We started on the 12th from Checbai at day-break, crossed 
the Touse at Tahlurk ghaut, to the right of which is the Wa- 
terfall, and pitched our tents at Uttereeah, one mile from the 
river, making this day’s journey only four miles. The fall of 
the Touse is not so deep as the other two, being only 210 feet ; 
but the fall of water is far superior, both from there being a 
greater body, and from its being divided into two separate and 
distinct currents. 
The grandest of the two, which is on the right, issues down 
with tremendous impetuosity, and creates a loud roaring noise 
to such a degree, as to drown all conversation. A break about 
12 feet from the top causes the fall to project considerably, 
and enhances the magnificence of the sight in a high degree. 
The glen is narrow, and continues to the bottom almost perpen- 
dicular; huge ledges of rock, sent from the great mass, and 
hanging, you would imagine, by a very slender and precar 
rious tenure, present a fine bold and wild aspect. If the height 
of this Fall had been as great as the others, I should have no 
hesitation in giving it the preference. In point of scenery, it is 
^unequal to Kaioutee, yet certainly superior to Checbai ; but it
