When General Grant arrived, he professed great faith in the ditch idea, and promptly set a large force of men at work to enlarge the little channel which Williams had made. As the general had faith in the ditch, his subordinates had it likewise. They had good reason CUTTING A CANAL. 271 for it, as channels had been made across necks of land in several places along the great river in just the manner described. A small channel was dug so as to let in a foot or two of water, and the river "did the... rest. " An old resident described to the writer the cutting of Raccourci Bend, where the river formerly made a sweep of twenty-eight miles to get around a point whose neck was less than half a mile across.
"The channel that was cut, " said he, "was about ten feet wide ; and when it was opened there were four or five feet of water in it. The river was rising, but for the first day it did not cut away much earth. The second day it rose more, and we began to see the bank crumble. By the morning of the third day the channel was two hundred feet wide ; and every few minutes you could see a big piece of earth tumbling over into it.
