“The river at this part is broad, though shallow at times and rather difficult to navigate on account of the numerous sandbanks. A short distance below Bhamo is second defile, where the river has cut its way through a range of hills, and here the scenery is lovely in the extreme. At this point the river is not much more than 100 yards broad, but, on account of its great depth, which has never yet been ascertained, it glides through without a ripple on its surface. On the right bank is a limestone cliff rising perpendicularly some hundreds of feet from the water; its sides are clothed with the most luxuriant ferns and orchids and festooned with creepers. At one
point is a small pagoda half buried in the surrounding foliage. The high banks on the opposite side are clothed with forest trees, palms, tree-ferns, and many lovely varieties of tropical vegetation.”
