No. 3. The Tireea Escape.

Here, again, from the in-
-sufficiency of the channel of
the Rinde River to receive addi-
-tional water, the canal ^escape has
been turned to the Eesun. It will
be observed by reference to the
map, that at a point between
the 82nd and 83rd mile, and from
the village of [Davodpoora?] which
stands on the most elevated ground
between the Rinde and the Eesun;
lines of drainage flow off towards
both rivers, the larger one on the
left of the canal which I have
elsewhere described as the Hussun-
-poor Nulla, being in the lower
part of its course a ravine of
great depth and size. This nulla
appeared to be an appropriate
site for escape water, and it has
been used as such for the drain-
-age of the lands lying above it.
It was advisable, however, from
the amount of drainage which
we had passed into the Hussun-
-poor Nulla, to reserve it for that
purpose solely, and with this
view, an escape for regulating
the canal supply was fixed at
a point 4 miles lower down,
where the Eesun is in close prox-
-imity with the canal, and
where the channel of escape
will be maintained for its own
legitimate purposes.

The Tireea Escape, therefore
is situated at the 87th mile, its
extent of water way, and design
[in connection with the upstream, struck through]
[side of a bridge, struck through], being the same
as that at Nugureea.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
