The other, the Saint Louis company, from the first had Eads as its chief engineer.

The Eads jetties did not then exist, and the shifting mud-banks made constant soundings necessary for large vessels.

Eads has himself described his going back to his room in the hotel, and in a few hours making over his designs.

However, Eads had his contract and his backers and his ideas and his faith in them; and he set to work on the little pass.
