Owing to this circumstance many boats do not return from below this place. This difficulty, however, is about to be removed by a canal, 258 Early Western Travels [Vol. 8 which will give to the river, at this place, another direc- tion. 104 This is the only considerable obstruction in the whole course of the O...hio. In the rapids there are three passages, and they are all taken at different times, according to the state of the river. Pilots are, by law, appointed to navigate boats down the rapids. The quantity of water in the river often varies: it sometimes both rises and falls in the course of a few hours. Before I proceed further down this river, I must notice those parts of Pennsylvania and Virginia, which lie on the Ohio. The western boundary of Pennsylvania lies about forty miles west of French Creek and Alleghany river; and west of Pittsburgh/ on both sides of the Ohio, about the same distance.
