Show 683 ( the the' the ) engineers of the survey , * speaking of a ( voyage voy4ga ) on the San ( Juaii Juan ) . ( ( E R ) . 2592 . ) Some differences in ( -the the ) channel were ( observed observec"L observecL ) . between the ( up-trip uptrip ) and the down . The channel of the river would be the point you would navigate , where the deeper water is . The rate of change is affected greatly by the amount of the flow . A heavy flow ( will -will will ) facilitate the movement of the sandj it would shift a sand bar according to the way the . current deflected by this or that wall strikes it . , , That is inseparable ( from froni ) any ( sand-bearing sandbearing ) river . ( R 2593 . ) He did not make any specific observations as , to > the location of any change in the channel between . the ( upstream upstreani ) trip and the downstream trip , ( occa- occa ) . sionally ( remarked reniarked ) that the channel was ( changepL changed ) here and there , or had moved this way or that , or might have said , ( "We We ) are encountering shallow water where we found it deeper . " One takes that as a ( matter niatter ) of course with any ( sand-bearing sandbearing sand-beaTing sandbeaTing ) rivers ; , ( you yon ) get it anywhere , except this is a little worse ( than tban ) any he knows of .
