ated in a low field, where no such
phenomenon is expected: the cave is
about 100 feet deep, its length about
60 yards, and its breadth 30 ; it is of
a lozenge shape, and divided into two
parts by a rude and grotesque arch of
limestone rock; at the south end, is
an entrance down into this abyss, where
the astonished visitant sees a cataract is-
suing from a large aperture in the rock,
about the dimensions of a church door,
and falling 25 yards in an unbroken
sheet, and with a deafening noise, the
water disappears amongst the rocks and
pebbles at the bottom, running about a
mile by a subterraneous passage, when
it again emerges: the cave is filled with
the spray of the dashing water, which
in the forenoon sometimes produces a
small rainbow of unequalled brilliancy.
One of the most surprising features of
the scene, is a stone of enormous mag-
nitude, suspended by its opposite an-
gles touching the sides of a crevice,
over the orifice whence the cataract
issues. In the walls of the cave,
which are covered with a black moss,
are some curious excavations, and the
margin is surrounded by trees and
shrubs, which accord well with the
gloomy grandeur of the scene. About
a mile to the south, is Douk Cave,
resembling Weathercoat on a smaller
scale, its stream falling not more than
8 or 9 yards ; but the passage whence
it issues can, by means of candles, be
explored to some distance.
