A pilot gets so well acquainted with the dis- position ahd peculiarities and temper oi the old Mississippi that he learns to kee; away from shallows, even it he hasn't beenlover the course for months and all A sorts 01 changes have taken place since he was gone. They can't tell exactly how they do it themselves, because it has come with them to be more of an instlnci than a trade, and toesay that a man can pick "up such things from books and charts or any experience short of the ex- perience of a lifetime is all nonsense. One queer thing about a shoal is that a ship will run away from it to a certair extent. When it gets near. the water seems to act as a sort of wedge ant.` pushes it away. and a man who know : his business `can tell in a moment that he is approaching danger. Another littlt oddity is that a river pilot takes his steer lng sights aft instead of to ward, as I landsman would naturally suppose. He gets two shore points [ on i a line ant steers by them, and it they `open up 01 widen out he hauls over to one side or the other until they come together again- The bar pilot, on the other hand, depends entirely on his compass. Piloting is a curious business, and most of the rumour men of the old days have passed away A few more vnm-a will con H... It-HG A4 Inltlnct lPlayu a Large Part In Navi- gating the Old River. _A grown man can t learn the river," said an old time pilot, chatting over his i experiences the other day. He's got tc begin when he's a boy and get it soaked -into his brain until all the tricks and turns of the water become as familiar tc him as A B C to a schoolmaster. Mem- r orizing a lot of soundings don't do him ` any good, because the shoals are chang- ing all the time. It s like this: When a man has been married long enough he gets to know theldisposition of his wife and learns to steer clear or things that would rile her, taking hisbearings by a hundred and one little signs that an out- sider would never notice.
