    c.l. printed: Whirlpool Rapids below the Bridge \\ About three miles below the Falls are the \ Upper Whirlpool Rapidss. The Gorge at \ this point narrows, until the walls are less \ than three hundred feet apart, and the \ huge volume of water, confined within \ this narrow vent, leaps and tosses in \ foam and fury. The current rushed past \ at a speed of twenty-seven miles an hour, \ and the sight of the swirling, struggling \ waters, flashing past in irresistable might, \ is one not soon forgotten.
