The Youths Companion says that
when the battleship Mississippi
steamed up the river Of the same
name TO Natchez last month, it was
the first time that a warsbip Of that
size had ever entered the river. A
monitor went much further up the
stream a few years ago, but the
monitor is a small boat. The Mis-
sissippi is a thirteen-thousand ton
vessel and draws twenty. seven feet
OF water. As the channel pilots
have taken vessels Of twenty-nine
feet draft over the bar at the mouth,
they had no difficulty in getting The
battleship into the main channel Of
the stream. This channel averages
fifty feet deep for more than three
hundred miles from its mouth, pro-
vidlng water enough 10 float the
biggest ships yet built. The reason
for the cruise Of the battleship was
to permit the people Of Mississippi
TO see the warship named after their
state.
