[In lower margin, hand G:]
River which has its origin in the Langkloof mountains and runs for only two miles but gets much water. The ebb and flow are strong here, and one must wait for the ebb to cross it. In the Hottentot language it is called Knysna and this mouth is 2½ miles west of Plettenberg Bay.
The shore here is steep and rocky here, and thus there are strong breakers. There is excellent timber in this area in thick forests of high ascending trees of African hardwood; but the roads are extremely difficult.
