It is soon 111-6 creased by a multitude of torrents, and falls into the lake of Constance, which it crosses with great impetuosity for the space of six leagues, when it' leaves it between the villages of S(ygen and Es ehenz, and retakes 1te former name. Below Schaf. Hausen, the navigation of the river is not very easy 1 there are, however, boats which will descend(110t Without danger) as far as the fall whith it makes below this town. They are constructed with very light planks of fir, and are called, in the language of the country, La-uer Tanner: the bottom is quite flat, the sides quite straight, the prow and stern very low, and not terminated in a, poiht. These vessels are generally sold at the places where they disembark their cargoes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
