Unlike most other great rivers, the
Congo has no delta. 1t discharges
into the sea by a single, unbroken
estuary, seven and a half miles across,
in which sounding line of two hun
dred fathoms does not everywhere
touch bottom, and current runs Of
five to seven knots an hour This
enormous volume exceeds that of every
other known stream except the ANA
zon. A conservative estimate Of the
amount of water discharged by it is
100000 cubic feet per second. The
Mississippi, when at flood height car
ries down no omore than 100000 cubic
feet and sinks in the dry season to
228,000. Moreover the Congo never
runs low. II swells and sinks, as the
rainy and dry seasons succeed eacn
other, but within a relatively narrow
range of oscillation.
