He says:
'The bars at the various passes change very often. The channel
sometimes changes two and three times in a season. Occasionally one
gale of wind will change the channel. The bars make to the seaward
every year. The Southwest Pass is now the main outlet used. It has
been so only for three years, as at that time there was as much
water in the Northeast Pass as in it. The Southeast Pass was the
main ship channel twenty years ago; there is only about six feet of
water in that pass now; and where it was deepest then, there are
only a few inches of water at this time. The visible shores of the
river have made out into the Gulf two or three miles within my
memory. Besides the deposits of mud and sand, which form the bars,
there frequently rise up bumps, or mounds, near the channel, which
divert its course. These bumps are supposed to be the production of
salt springs, and sometimes are formed in a very few days.
