At sunset I came upon Joe Eckel's Bar, not the fluvial establishment so much resorted to by people ashore, but a genuine Mississippi sandbar, or shoal, which was covered with two feet of water, and afforded lodgment for a heavy raft of trees that had floated upon it.
In the morning Joe Eckel's Bar was alive with geese and ducks, cackling a lusty farewell as I pushed through the drift stuff and resumed my voyage down the swelling river. The reaches were usually five miles in length, though some of them were very much longer.
