Somewhere in this immense and peerless =Ta Hoh=--somewhere among the majestic mountains--somewhere along the bed of the Colorado (either inside or outside of Middle Park,) the investigator should find a section which is =bottomless=. The ancient account locates it there. Nor are we to look for it in any Philippine Island. We are restricted to the bed or banks of the Colorado which we have identified as the =Chu= or plunging river that rushes downward to the Gulf. Our leaping stream flows into and out of Grand Lake (within Middle Park.) Now this Lake (or enlargement of the bed of the Grand Colorado) "has a beach, and far out into the body of the water a sandy bottom" and "in the center, covering an area of nearly a =mile= square the Lake to all appearance is =bottomless=." We are further informed that "explorations of the edges of this great submarine cavern give the most positive evidences that it was once the crater of a great volcano" (note 18). "The Lake to all appearance is bottomless. The deepest soundings that could ever be made have failed to reach bottom. Hence it is concluded that it has =no bottom=." Turn these two words, "no bottom" into Chinese and we get =wu ti=,--the very terms employed in the Chinese account. No bottom, say the Ancients. No bottom, say the Moderns. The old account puts the unfathomable abyss in a =Kuh= (valley or ravine) and it is within a Valley--the Valley of Middle Park--that we actually find it. Moreover, this bottomless valley is "supposed" (or reported) to belong to the =Ta Hoh=--a title which would cover both Valley and Canyon. Indeed, Middle Park, with its enormous mountain-walls connects directly with the system of the Grand Canyon. Moreover, the one stream flows through both. And here it may be remarked that the =Chu= (or River of Ledges and Falls) is not terminated or swallowed up by the Bottomless abyss in =Kuh= (or Valley of Middle Park.) It flows on through the =Ta Hoh= and ultimately enlarges into a Gulf (the Gulf of California). The rocky floor of the =Kuh= (or Valley of Middle Park) evidently constitutes a support or bottom for an impetuous and important River of Ledges or rapids and yet, at the same time, is reported to be Bottomless. This seems contradictory. But reaching the precise locality referred to in the old account, modern scientists simply echo the declaration of the Ancients,--that this Valley or =Kuh=, traversed by a leaping, furious =Chu=, is unfathomable. Bottomless! say the Ancients. Bottomless! say the Moderns. It thus appears that a statement seemingly calculated at first sight to drown the ancient claim in a flood of derision, turns out on examination to be overwhelmingly powerful evidence in support of the validity of the old record.
