is about 100 feet wide.
At full tide, on even 1/2 tide, these perpendicular banks of Fine Sand are covered.  It is only a low tide that the said Banks are visible.
When half or full tide the W. side of river is limited by a slightly inclined, even plain of sand wh. soon is met by grassy land, smooth & continuous to the base of line of mountenous land that extends on 6 or 7 miles N.W. to [[underlined]] "Gate-Way" [[/underlined]] leading to what?  I hope yet to know.
On the East side of this river a few fathoms from river channel proper is a low ledge of rocks extending the course of the river up to the falls.  One fourth mile back from river these rocks cease - the extended plains of grassy land begin & reach away in the distance till limited by long rolling hills behind wh. the line of more mountenous land from the S.W. gradually draws - nearly meeting the ridge on west side Frobisher Bay, [[underlined]] at the "Gate-Way", [[/underlined]] opening perhaps (as before observed) to some "Fairy-Land"..
