The explorers found themselves knee deep in a comparatively wide underground river immediately: upon touching bottom. The tunnel through which it flowed was so low in many places that they were obliged to crawl most of the 300 yards they traveled, when theyv finally came to a spot where the lost river reached a depth up to the shoulders of the leader.
