Show 330 ( readied reached ) ( twelve tNvc'lvc tNvclvc ) or fifteen feet . In the Mississippi River , for a few miles below St . Louis , which ( he lie ) ( has- has hau ) inspected , although ( he lie ) has never been officially in : , charge of it , they consider that a bar which during the ( freshet fresliet ) stage does not build higher than the ( low low- low ) water surface will cause no ( wony worry ) during the ( sub- sub ) sequent low water season . In other words , a river will excavate at least nine feet through that bar . . In ( general aeneral ) terms , where the river is curving to ( the tlm ) left , the deep water will be in the concave bend , close to the bank . ( R . 1220 . ) For the trip on the Colorado River he adopted the plan that they would travel as close to that bank as ( seemed seeined ) safe , in view of the boulders and rocks that had fallen off the cliffs into the edge of the river . As you leave a bend turning to the left , you are following the ( right right- right ) bank , and as you enter the straight reach , the ( deep deep- deep ) channel ordinarily ( follows foflows ) down the right bank ( for for- for ) a considerable distance . As you enter the bend , curving in the ( opposite- opposite opposite ) direction , or in other words , to the right , you can count quite ( confidently colifidently ) on finding deep water as soon as the bend begins . It also happens on many occasions that that deep water will extend far up along ( tiie the ) left bank of the river . In other words , ( "the the ) river is curving to the right , the deep water be in that bend along the left bank of the river , and that deep water will often extend ( far far- far ) up into the ( straight straigh ) reach . Under such conditions the crossing bar frequently has a diagonal position attached to the right bank below the lower end of |
