been forced % the FLYER to avoid pack Of
wolves who had hunted him down. We saw
no bears attempt to cross the river, nor did we
find them on the many islands at which we en-
campted during our voyage. On the main land
we frequently discovered their tracks, until we
passed Natcbex, after which we saw no more
of them. Though deer were not so often met
with as on the Ohio, yet our Canadans were but
seldom disappointed when they had an oppor
tunity OF an hours range on any of the uplsnds
But do not recollect single instance of
their ever having found any ON the low wet
grounds. .
The Mississippi River,ss well as the Ohio. is
very subject to fogs. which frequently detained
us tor FIVE or six hours together during which
1t was SO thick that we were not able TO distin-
guish objects at the distance of one hundred feet
have often observed that the fog was entirely
confined to the surface f the river, and on more
than one occasion have climbed to the top of a
tree, where / saw clear sky, with the fog be-
meath me which had all the appearance of a
river. These long continued and heavy fogs gen.
orally rise only to about thirty or forty feet in
height. !, .,,..,,
The current of the Mississippi: may be rated in
an ordinary state of its waters, az three miles an
hour. BY regular log and line, we found its
greatest strength did not exceed miles an hour,
not even in any place where it had acquired an
acccleraton of motion by the projection OF a
point, obstruction by an island or contraction of
the channel Nor does its velocity, during any
stage ofits waters, exceed, in my opinion, AN a.
verage of five miles an hour
The navigation oftha Mississippi must ALWAYS
be attended with difficulties and dangers. as
long as twelve or fifteen hundred miles of its
bank remain covered with enormous trees,
which are continually tumbling into the river,
and forming succession OF snags, sawyers and
planters. And even when this difficulty shall
be removed bya competent increase of popula.
ton, others, although less, will still remain.--.
The channel of the Mississippi, which changes
with every stage of water, is continually crea.
ting new sand bars and islands so that the
whole channel cannot be said to be found alto
gether in the same place for two years together.
Add to this, that the turbidnsss of the water is
such as to prevent any thing being seen at the
d pth of six inches so that those boats who use
falr wind are always obliged to have one hand
standing forward with long pole, ready to
sound the bottom whenever he is ordered.
The Mississippi can scarcely be said to be
dangerous to those ascending the river, as their
progressive motion is generally so slow, as 10
render it almost impossible to receive any great
injury, unless through some carelessness of their
| own. But in descending, the dangers are great.
and often so sudden and unexpected, that no.
thing but the greatest presence of mind and at.
tention CAN save boat from being lost
