A number of levees across tho river have b ‘cu found defective, but an armv of men and a mss« of material arc | holding them. Up the stream, on the New Orleans side of the river, danger spots have develop'd, bar prompt work is teding there. Tne planters along Bay on La Fonrrhe are camping on the banks and marshalling tlnv.r forces for protection and a weak levee line has been iie.d against what seemed certain ruin.

Still a greater lesson has been that even tiie strongest levees are m- sufficient nmess tin* ba-e of the banks are nrooeriv declined.
