The divided village of Twyferry (S. Adulynt, lit. "Two-boats", Éo. "Twabatas") marked the beginning of the Tumlamennen, the King’s expensive project to keep the Onodló (Entwash) fully navigable to the Anduin. Two dredger boats were both based here, each under a Captain of the River Patrol Engineers. There was also a well-organised ferry service costing two brasslings per person, baggage negotiable. A River Patrol garrison under a third Captain manned the light, fast boats which cracked down on smugglers, water-bandits and other undesirables. Twyferry had a Warden appointed by the Cáno of Calenardhon who acted jointly with the Captains; about T.A. 1640 this was Sarvelich, a lawyer from Calenmîr, rewarded for past services. He was an old widower with several grown children. The eldest, Connacar, was an adventurer always willing to join an exciting trip. Adulynt survived mostly as a stopover point for boat-travellers, so there were several inns to choose from. In addition, the village boasted tradesmen and craftsmen, including a builder, carpenter, smith, and thatcher, as well as spinners and weavers.
