Show 3568 1590 79 Dellenbaugh Greenriver, Utah, a phenomenon which has been testified to in this case called sand waves? A I don't remember any sand waves; we may have seen them, but our boats were pretty sturdy; we wouldn't mind sand waves. Q You are familiar with the phenomenon, are your? A I have been told about it. Q You, yourself, have never seen them? A Don't remember anything of the kind. Q To your recollection? A No; our boats were very heavy; they would stand almost anything. Q Can you give me any idea about the weight or the supplies that you had on board the boats south of Greenriver, your best judgment? A Greenriver, Utah? Q Yes. You had three boats. How many men in each boat? A Three men to each boat, except one had four men. Q That would be ten men? A I suppose they had a thousand pounds, at least, or twelve hundred pounds, in each boat. Q You spoke of this second trip from the mouth of the Freemont or Dirty Devil river, which was the year succeeding your first trip, as I understand? A Yes. Q Did I understand you to say on your first trip you left a boat there? A Yes, we left a boat at the mouth of the Dirty Devil. |
