more than take a look around! The main entrances
were partly closed by nature though I managed
to crawl in and found that it opens into a large chamber
after which I explored around for other openings & almost fell into
one that was covered over & into another & went going down a hole
in the ground then wading up the stream a short distance
there were a number of swift one of which I caught in
my hand.
October 5 1933
Paul Brace & myself went back in the morning
and did some more exploring see opposite page for
sketch of openings (1) Opening No 1 was not disturbed after
coming back from Nos. 6 & 7 nor was a good way into nos 2-3 both
of which open into the same chamber 3 dropping specifically
& therefore an asable. One crawls for about 4 feet before
coming out onto a ledge down which one scrambles out slopily
floor for from 10 to 15 meters there was a passage to the
N. A. E. which was not investigated as we followed the larger
3: E (left) it quickly descended to a stream which I would judge was running in a direction to subtend an angle of a few
degrees less than 90 The passage upstream was too narrow to
follow so we waded down stream. We were soon forced
to leave it as it came to a pool with no apparent visible
opening & undoubtedly going under a rock situated a step or
two we climbed into on another passage that went slightly
up we soon emerged into a small chamber but at the bottom of which
was a pool of water which took blue with its depth and was
probably quite so as our water usually look much shallower
than it really is. We turned back thus though we could have
gone on through another passage, as our candle was getting low.
In No 6 we went up stream about 20 meters further as we would go
we found a number of swift met some with young others with
eggs and some just finished. Paul collected several. In No 7
I went down stream to where the stream went down a falls I could
not see how far as at the cave was too narrow to go any further
