" ( R . 1433-4 , Vol . 8 . ) And the statement that I make on the same page of said exhibit , to wit , ( "In In ) the beginning of Cataract Canon , we ( en- en ) countered our first real rapid * * * " ( R . 1436 , Vol . 8 . ) is also a true statment . My article ( "Through Through ) Mysterious Canons of the ( Colo Colo- Colo ) rado , " after reciting that we had arrived at the mouth of the Green River , correctly states the fact at page numbered 254 of said exhibit : ( "After After ) overhauling and ( re-packing repacking ) our cargo and establing our points , we turned loose on our perilous journey * * * Six miles below , at the head of Cataract Canon , we struck our first real rapid . " ( R . 1438 , Vol . 8 . ) The perilous journey I referred to was through Cataract Canyon . ( R . 1439 , Vol . 8 . ) In another of my articles ( appear appear- appear ) ing on page numbered 74 of said exhibit , where I said : ( "Here Here ) ended the ( 'picnic' picnic ) part of our trip ; then followed in quick succession mishaps , loss of provisions , etc . , " I referred to our trip from Green River , Utah , down to the head of Cataract Canyon as the ( "picnic picnic ) . " ( R . 1440 , Vol . 8 . ) On page numbered 75 of said exhibit I correctly record : ( "From From ) this point ( mouth of the Dirty Devil ) to Lees Ferry , Arizona , one hundred and fifty miles , the trip was uneventful . " ( R . 1450 , Vol . 8 . ) Also at page numbered 259 of said exhibit I make the following comment concerning the trip from Tickaboo down : ( "We We ) now pushed out , and owing to the long stretches of smooth water , with very few rapids , we arrived at Lees Ferry , one hundred and fifty miles below , on the afternoon of July 2nd , etc .
