It was during their sojourn on ths river that they were given the first view of a Mississippi flood that white mens eyes had ever JchcldL o Here Is hoW the chronicler, de la Vega, was Impressed: Then God, our Lord, hindered the work with a mighty flood of the Great river, which, at that time about thq eighth or tenth of March began to come down with an enormous Increase of water; which In the beginning overflowed the wide level ground between the river and the cliffs; then little by little It rose to the top of the cliffs. Soon it began to flow over the fields in an mmense flood, and as the land was level without any hills there was nothing to stop the inundation. Beautiful to Look Upon. "The flood was 40 days In reaching its greatest height, which was the twentieth of April, and it was a beautiful thing to look upon the sea where there had been fields, for on each side of the river the water extended over 20 leagues of land and all of this area was navigated by canoes, and nothing was seen but tha tops of the tallest trees. "On account of these inundations of the river the people build their houses on the high land, and where there ! none, they raise mounds by hand, especially for the housei of the chiefs; the houses are constructed three or four stages above the ground, on thick posts that serve as uprights and between uprights they lay beams for the floors, and above these floors which are of wood, they make the root, with galleries around the four sides of the house where they store their food and other supplies, and here they take refuge from the great floods.
