Show constitutes an obstruction to 86 the flow of the river , and the sand bar forms on the opposite side from that . I ( re- re ) member seeing Nathaniel Galloway come down the river a number of ( times-two timestwo ) or three times . He was a trapper and hunter . Once in a while there would be a trapper and hunter come in but I ( don't dont ) recall their names except that I remember Bert Loper . The first one I recall seeing was a man named Mesca when I was about fifteen years old ; later , Mr . ( Gallo- Gallo ) way came down , and then there were two other men . I later saw Galloway and have a distinct recollection of seeing three other trappers ( besides 'besides besides ) him since I returned to the river and up until 1923 . ( R . 3090-3 , Vol . 17 . ) ( I 1 ) ( don't dont ) remember whether Mr . Galloway told me where he came from the first time I saw him at Lees Ferry , but on his second trip he said he had come down from either Green River , Wyoming , or Green River , Utah . I have no knowledge of Galloway or any of the other men ( going- going going ) back up the river in row boats . ( R . 3098-3099 , Vol . 17 . ) John W . Palmer testified : I acted as assistant fireman on the Charles H . Spencer steam boat when it made its second trip from Warm Creek to Lees Ferry , which consumed from one ( o'clock oclock ovelock ) p . m . , one day until four ( o'clock oclock ) the next day . We were stuck on sand bars and ( couldn't couldnt ) handle the boat until we put out a big log chain which we dragged in front to hold the nose of the boat straight . We ( weren't werent ) towing any barge , and carried wagons and ( equipment eqaipment ) on the boat . The upstream journey consumed two days and we ( didn't didnt ) use the log chain on that trip . Later we took about five tons of coal down on the boat , that trip consuming about a day . I then went to Paria to work for the same company . ( R . 3104-3107 , Vol . 17 . ) ( I 1 ) have been to the small coal mine above Warm Creek , which was the first coal mine the ( com- com ) pany opened . The last time I was at the mouth of Warm Creek I saw about 100 tons of coal there . I know that the Violet Louise was up at Warm Creek , but ( don't dont ) know much about any of the boats except the Charles Spencer . ( R . 3107-8 , Vol . 17 . ) While I was at Warm Creek there were about 15 men working there , and supplies were brought there overland . On one occasion the Charles H . Spencer went about a quarter of a mile upstream from Warm Creek ; we ( couldn't couldnt ) go any further , and that is the only upstream trip I recall . ( R . 3110 , Vol . 17 . ) ( Oa Om ) the upstream trip when I said the Charles , ( H 11 ) . Spencer ( couldn't couldnt ) go any further , |
