Show is , slower current , outside 1383 of the main channel ; they will ( form forin ) on one side of the river or the other , or ( per- per ) haps ( in hi ) the middle , and sometimes they even close at the lower end . ( R . 5358-5359 . ) He would call the ( streams streanis ) running through , currents . The channel is usually ( well -well well ) defined , but something may ( cause- cause ) for instance , a rock may roll down off a sidehill and cause a change of the main current , that might split the main channel and drive ( some sorne ) of the water to one side or to the middle of the river . ( R . 5358-5360 . ) If there be a more or less swift current over to the right bank and at the same time the deepest part of the river might be over at the left bank , usually there is only one explanation ; it is an obstruction of some sort that has gotten into the river ; might be a ( water-logged waterlogged ) tree , ( or-it orit ) might be a rock thrown in from a wall . It is possible such a thing would happen , but ( he lie ) is not supposing such a condition could exist . The swiftest part of the river always is the channel . ( R . 5360-5361 . ) When you have the high spring water so that the water is high in the river and comes up the slopes more , it may happen that at certain points there may be a ledge of rock , for instance , that in low water the river , or at least in a swift part of the river , does not touch , but at high water it might go against such a projection , and during that temporary period of high water only cause the current to apparently cross the , stream . If that ( condition-if conditionif ) that high water ( condi condi- condi ) ( tion-is tionis ) only temporary , it might not , during that ( pe- pe ) |
