A We found the boat all right, except the water had been up, just washed the sand away from under the keel. Q How high had you concealed it? A It must have been -- I was going to say thirty feet, but the water could hardly have gotten up that high; couldn't have been more than twenty feet above the ordinary stage of water. The river rose phenomenally that next year. Q In reference to these signs of previous Indian habitations and the holes that you surmised were provisions, and so on -- A Yes. Q How was access obtained to those? A Overland. Q So far as you could see? A Overland, by trails from the back country from both sides. Q Any signs of trails up from the river bed? A Where they had their vegetables down on some bottom land, there would be trails up. Q In those portions, as I understand you, these signs of Indian habitation were below Cataract canyon? A Some in Cataract canyon also. Q But some of them below? A Yes. Q There are no open lands there, are there? |
