CAUTLEY SPOUT.- This place, though not properly belonging to

takes a clear leap of 400 feet and upwards. The whole height of
the cascade, from the spout to the foot of the lower fall, has
been measured as 860 feet. The south side of the fall is crowned
by tremendous precipices and shelves of loose stone, called
'Cautley Screes.' The north side is particularly abrupt, and
requires a firm foot, and a good head, to get either up or down.
