it by boats:
Nearly everybody got up early yester.

rough water ridges seen on Wednesday
afternoon, where the cross levee gave
way, were gone, and the water came over
plaeidly, showing a surface as smooth as
can be found upon any portion of the
main river. Drift woNd swept hurriedly
across-the current crossing to the Mis-
sissippi side in the vicinity Of the lower

great d|iminution in the force of the cur

tug Bigley used the lead line in going
through, but couldn't find bottom at a
distance of t~wenty-eight feet. The chan

be made for the great body of the river.
The river must go down before we can
tell the effect Of the cutoff on Vieks-
