Excerpt from Railway and Locomotive Engineering, Vol. 20: A Practical Journal of Railway Motive Power and Rolling Stock; New York, January, 1907

The gulf between the vertical walls of rock, which forms the crack in the earth's surface into which the river tumbles, is something more than a mile long and less than 300 ft. Wide. It is believed to have been formed by some mighty earthquake in the days when the earth was young. In this narrow gorge the water foams and boils toward its outlet near the eastern end. The whole of the mile-wide river above the fall, becomes a turbulent stream below, and running, one might almost say, on its edge, surges out of the gulf through a rocky channel about 325 ft. Wide, on its way to the Indian ocean.
