At Upper Hope the main stream has dug into thenorthern bank so far as to make the curve shorter. Itstrikes harder upon a higlicr bank, imdermines it more, andrelDOimds faster to the other side, which it reaches at LowerHope. Boats ascending cross the stream at Lower Hope, brushtlie willow bushes with their oars, and scrape the gravel tokeep in the dead water near the southern bank. But on theway back they cross the bay at Upper Hope, hug thenorthern bank, and shoot down with a rapid stream. The river flows south and works east
