On each of the occasions when I went to Moab we there ( re-supplied resupplied ) and came back in our boats to Green River , Utah . . In going upstream in row boats we rowed and towed and when the wind was favorable we sailed . . ( ( R . 4873-9 , Vol . . 27 . . ) In October , 1914 , we went from Green River , , Utah , , to Hite with Charles Russell . We ran all of the rapids in Cataract Canyon but one , which we portaged because Russell had lost the oars on his boat ; we recovered , the oars later . . ( R . * 4884-5 Vol 27 ) . , . .
