Show 39 Mr. Farnsworth: That will go in with the same understanding. The Special Master: With the same understanding. ( The book referred to was received in evidence and marked " Complainant's Exhibit No. 15.") By Mr. Blackmar: Q Since you went down the river, you have delivered various lectures on the Colorado River? A Yes, sir. Q Whereabouts? A At the American Museum of Natural History, in New York; the Columbia Institute of Arts and Sciences in New York; the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in Brooklyn; Columbia University Club; Princeton Club; the Lyric Theater, in Baltimore, and various other places. Q You are a member of Explorers' Club? A I am an active member of the Explorers' Club. Q Now, Mr. Eddy, just tell me how you got your party together, and what kinds of boats you used, and move right out to Greenriver, Utah. A After carefully reading all of the data on the Colorado River , I decided to make my trip at relatively high water. All previous expeditions had gone at lower levels of water. I concluded from the experience of Powell, Stanford and others, that a relatively high level of water would make for more danger, but better speed and less work. 2000 |
