Colonel Wilson, ed.; Lebanon coast near the mouth of the Adonis river. The iron-stained soil of the sandstone strata is annually washed down into the river by the heavy winter rains, and the discolored stream can be traced far out into the blue sea. This gave rise to the belief that the river was tinged with the blood of Adonis, every year in memory of his death.
