This morning Thomas Gibson
took me down the River about half
a mile to see what he said was some
thing of a curiosity. The mighty
Dashing of the Waters had worn a
cavity in the side of the bank a consi-
derable ways into the Hill in which was
exhibited abundance of Iron Ore, Stone
Cole, and Limestone all interspers’d thro’
each other. It apear’d as tho’ the Hill
at some period had been on fire, which
had penetrated in a subteraneous manner
so far, that 50 or 60 yards from the
Margin of the Water on a high
Bank the Ground was sunk down
or considerable Depth in the form
of a reservoir.
After breakfast we were ferry’d
over the River and propos’d going
to Bees Kadwallader that evening
J. Swayne & myself took our rout
by way of Union Town to see
some of his Relations. Union
