Show 227 across there ( indicating). Q Yes. A The flow generally in that particular year was equal to or less than 4,000 for a large part of the month of October Q Let us see. What year is that? The Special Master: It is that long stretch that I referred to as more or less normal. Of Course, it would be recent. Mr. Blackmar: All right; you may resume now, Mr. Hoyt. The Witness: Between Mile 35 and Mile 36, we were extremely careful with the boats, as Mr. Baldwin has reported that, at that point, there were submerged rocks, at which at least one motorboat had been wrecked. Crossing bars were especially troublesome at Miles 40.4, 43. and 46.5. I have shown on here ( indicating) that the motorboat was stuck at about Mile 43.7, and that both boats were stuck at about Mile 46.3. That night we tied up at camp, Frank Schafer's Camp No. 1, located just north, I believe, of the county line between Grand County and San Juan County. By Mr. Farnsworth: Q Which boat was stuck there once, did you say? A The big boat was stuck twice. Q Twice? A Once at Mile 43.6 and once at Mile 46.3, and at Mile 46.3 our boat was also stuck. The big boat twice and ours once. 2190 |
