PuRCELL, 2 Lt. CLARK 8 and Mrs. GoooiNG, 4 to visit the Falls of St. Anthony. My boat being strong manned, we made good headway, but the more we approached the Falls, the stronger the rapids became. I left the boat with one man to guard it, and we set out by land, having only a distance of one mile to walk to the Falls. In going out of a thick woods into a small prairie, we had a full view of the Falls from one side to the other, a distance of about four or five hundred yards. The sight to me w...as beau- tiful ; the white sheet of water falling perpendicularly, as I should suppose, about twenty feet but Gen. PIKE says he measured and found it sixteen and a half feet over the differ- ent precipices ; in other parts, rolls of water, at different distances, falling like so many silver cords, while about the island large bodies of water were rushing through great blocks of rocks, tumbling every way, as if determined to make war against anything that dared to approach them. All this was astonishing to me who never saw the like before.
