NOTES ON CHARLES KINGSLEY. 499 
The Plymouth and Devonport Guide states :— “Plymouth is 
abundantly supplied with water, by a fine leat, which was first 
brought into the town in the reign of Elizabeth, by the renowned 
and patriotic circumnavigator of the world, Sir Francis Drake. 
This stream is diverted from the river Mew, just above Sheepstor 
bridge, on the skirts of Dartmoor, and winds a circuitous route of 
twenty-four miles.” *
