On the river front some of the houses was sticking
out over the bank, and they was bowed and bent, and
about ready to tumble in, The people had moved out
of them. The bank was caved away under one corner
of some
others, and
that corner was hanging over.
People lived in them yet, but it was dangersome, because
sometimes a strip of land as wide as a house
caves in at a time.
