PASSAGE-II

Two or three days and nights went by; I reckon Imight say they swum by, they slid along so quiet andsmooth and lovely. Here is the way we put it in thetime. It was a monstrous big river down there - some-times a mile and a half wide; we ran nights, and laidup and hid daytimes; soon as night was most gone westopped navigating and tied up - nearly always in thedead water under a towhead; and then cut young cot-tonwoods and willows, and hid the raft with them.Then we set out the lines. Next we slid into the riverand had a swim, so as to freshen up and cool off; thenwe set down on the sandy bottom where the waterwas about knee deep and watched the daylight come.Not a sound anywhere - perfectly still - Just like thewhole world was asleep only sometimes the bullfrogsa cluttering maybe. The first thing to see, looking awayover the water was a kind of dull line - that was thewoods on the other side; you couldn’t make nothingelse out; then a pale place in the sky; then more pale-ness spreading around; then the river softened up awayoff, and wasn’t black any more, but gray; you couldsee little dark spots drifting along ever so far away-

trading scows and such things and long black streaks- rafts; sometimes you could hear a sweep creakingor jumbled up voices, it was so still and sounds comeso far and by and by you could see a streak on thewater which you know by the look of the streak thatthere’s a snag there in a swift current which breakson it and makes that streak look that way.
