By noon, Lhotsky was somewhereto the north of Amboyne Crossing,and thence the route was north of,and parallel to, the Deddick transversal Yokes are theseveral ridges which come up fromthe valley and rise towards the north,and the part of the valley about Am-boyne Crossing would finally be the party. Thence the route waswesterly, to the north of the ridgeconnecting Mt.
