large RATS is generally from seven to nine
hundred feet, and its breadth about seventy.
On this mass oil floating wood, there are
twelve or fifteen small houses, built with
planks; and the one inhabited by the pro-
prlelor of the raft is usually remarkable for
It's elegance and convenience. There are
sometimes upon one raft us many as nine

orally draws six or eight feet of water. A
large raft is always accompanied with sew
eral bouts, the largest of which are gener-
ally laden with anchors and cordage, and
the small are employed in sounding the riv

convenient. The masters house is divided
into two parts, between which there is
room for walking On one side is the sit

and on the other the pilots room and the
store house for provisions Quite at the
head is the dining room, and near it is the
kitchen, in which may be seen on the fire
