A Reuter telegram published on Wednesday announced that Captain Bailey
and Captain Morshead, who have been exploring the San-po river, have returned to India. They proved that the San-po and the Brahmaputra are the same river. No falls were found. We shall therefore hear no more of the enchanting stories of a great waterfall which envelops the surrounding hills in mists of spray, and which is the abode of demons filling the hills with thunder. One of the few geographical mysteries that remained is solved. The Brahmaputra, which rises in the Tibetan plateau, flows east for about nine hundred miles and then turns south and comes into India through the Himalayas. The San-po is merely a part of this river north of the Himalayas. The falls were supposed to be in the unexplored stretch, about a hundred miles long, of the San-po.
