CHAPTER ri
IN IOVIsIANA.

The cvcr-changing scenes Of the
great river interested me, and could
have studied for days the varying
phases of human nature about me; but
as current and stream bore ms rapidly
down, the object ofmy journey pressed
upon my thoughts, and IL was with
eager alacrity that stepped ashore at
Donaldsonville, at the Head Of Bayou
La Fourchc. With few others and
with my small luggage was trans.
ferrcd to small steamer, and the last
few miles Of my journey we followed
the course of the bayou.
For the first time ! was in that land
Of wonders, lower Louisiana. | was
floating on one OF the multitude of
streams, which, more than one hun.
drcd miles above the Delta OF the
Mississippi, help to carry pT the great
pressure OF waters TO the guilt Other
