Before the rise commenced . it had rained incessantly along the Tennessee River gnd its tributaries for twodays and nights. This, with the addition of a general thaw, cased a mighty rush of waters, and the people had barely time, in many instances, to save their household goods. Those living more remote ftom the river thought te escape danger moving from the first floor to the second’ story of their houses. But then they were goon overtaken by the swelling tide and compelled to move out, using as a means of exodus canoes, skiffs, rafts ahd fiatboats, all of which were constracted in great haste for the occasion, nearly every man becom. ing for the nonce a mariner atid a ship carwar Se own am sat imi way.
