Show The Highest Waterfall. A recent traveler in New Zealand describes de-scribes tho great Sutherland waterfall "The water," ho says, "dashes over the clifT in three grand leaps, aud constitutes about one-half of the entire volume of the Arthur river. The first leap is over a dizzy cliff into a rocky basin 815 feet below. Jumping forth again, it makes another leap of 751 feet, and then goes tumbling and leaping in one wild dash of 338 feet into the pool at the foot of the precipice. The total height is 1,904 feet, making the waterfall the highest yet discovered. dis-covered. When the sun is shining rainbows rain-bows of all sizes hang over the fall, and the effect is indescribably beautiful." |
