center verso in graphite: The Peath Noll (?) / first entrance from under the low arched / channel- To which you are conveyed in a flat / bottomed oval boat laying on your back on straw, / and pushed forward by the guide who wades about / 2 foot deep in water, and stooping guides the vessel. / into the cavern--The light above proceeds from candles / already placed there.
