      We now began to notice at each side of the river, at the distance of about a mile, a flat-topped ridge of fluviated sandstone, very rough-looking and impracticable; great uneven sheets of stone broken into huge fragments, the result of extensive weathering, were piled along the sides of the ridge, which kept a very uniform height of 350 feet.
