Now he is so low that his banks are parched and boats have a ter- rible time getting along with him. Dangerous at flood stages, the river is a terror to navigators when abnormally low. A long drought in the middle valley famished the Father of Waters and he dropped from more than flood stage at Memphis early this year to approxi- mately 45 feet in July.

It is a hard job to get a big tow |up or down river when it is run- |ning a good stream, but to get one by at such low stages is almost mi- raculous.
