A distinguished traveller thus describes his experience in this matter :, "
I was encamped in Wady Feiran ,
near the base of Jebel Serbal ,
when a tremendous thunderstorm burst upon us .
After little more than an hour '
s rain ,
the water rose so rapidly in the previously dry wady that I had to run for my life ,
and with great difficulty succeeded in saving my tent and goods ;
my boots ,
which I had not time to pick up ,
were washed away .
In less than two hours a dry desert wady upwards of 300 yards broad was turned into a foaming torrent from 8 to 10 feet deep ,
roaring and tearing down and bearing everything upon it ,
tangled masses of tamarisks ,
hundreds of beautiful palmtrees ,
scores of sheep and goats ,
camels and donkeys ,
and even men ,
women ,
and children ,
for a whole encampment of Arabs was washed away a few miles above me .
The storm commenced at five in the evening ;
at half -
past nine the waters were rapidly subsiding ,
and it was evident that the flood had spent its force ." (

q .

A river ,
then ,
may be considered ,

As private ,
in the case of shallow and obstructed streams .
2d .
As private property ,
but subject to public use ,
when it can be navigated ;
and ,

As public ,
both with regard to its use and property .
Some rivers possess all these qualities .
The Hudson is mentioned as an instance ;
in one part it is entirely private property ;
in another the public have the use of it ;
and it is public property from the mouth as high up as the tide flows .
