Above the Red River the range between high and low water is about forty-five feet, and thence to the Gulf it gradually diminishes to zero.
The greatest velocity of current is about five and a half miles per hour during floods, and about one and a half miles per hour during low water.
The river is above mean height from January to July, and below from August to December. The greatest height is attained from March to June, and the lowest from October to November.
The mud of the Mississippi is very yielding, insomuch that an allowance of several feet is often made where the draught of a vessel exceeds the clear depth of the water. We have heard of cases where steamers have ploughed successfully through four feet of it.
