A word about Natchez-Under_the-Hill - Some of you have expressed some
concerns. You have been told about the "squalor of 'Natchez-Under-The-Hill.'
Cutthroats lurk in alleyways, pickpockets swarm the muddy streets like
locusts. Smoke-shrouded saloons vibrate with loud, gaudy laughter of shady
ladies plying their ancient trade in the shadow of nimble-fingered gamblers.
Murderers find sanctuary in this lawless community tucked beneath the hill,
and thieves squabble among themselves for prime territory."

Let me reassure you good gentlefolk....... it's all quite true.


As different from the city of Natchez on the bluff as Day from Night -
Natchez-Under_the-Hill, will live down to your every expectation.


Saloons, dance hall girls, gamblers, scoundrels and Rakes abound.

Good Evening, Night Owls, spectators and well-wishers.


The Natchez Belle is now boarding passengers - please have your tickets
ready. You are embarking on a short, but luxurious cruise tonight. Your
destination is the infamous town of Natchez-Under_the-Hill


Any one who misses the departure can arrange to take the mail packet - you
may, perhaps, reach the landing at the same time as the Belle, but you will
be missing out on quite an experience!


Please allow the stewards to show you to your staterooms - then be so kind
as to gather in the lounge. There will be a light repast served,with a piano
accompaniment, prior to dinner in the Crystal Salon.


The elegance of the Natchez Belle is well-known up and down the Mississippi,
and the staff will endeavor to see to your every comfort on the journey.


Kindly check your guns with the steward. And the knives. They absolutely
will be returned at the landing. Thank you.
