Instead of Widening towards its Mouth, it grows Narrower.—It Empties
four hundred and six million Tons of Mud.—It was First Seen in 1542.
—It is Older than some Pages in European History.—De Soto has
the Pull.—Older than the Atlantic Coast.—Some Half-breeds chip
in.—La Salle Thinks he will Take a Hand.
