Show 3970 Kane- D 1990 A In the morning there was a couple of inches of snow on the ground, but that thawed off during the day, or shortly afterwards, and we had fairly good -- nice weather from there on to the river. Hauled our boats overland to Crescent wash, and the weather was fairly good. MR. BLACKMAR: Just strike that question out I asked him; I didn't have him properly located. Q Mr. Kane, how close to the Colorado river did you get with your boats when you brought them in by team? A On the bank of the river, right on the bank of the river. Q So that it was just lifting them off the wagon and into the water? A Yes. We left that camp either on the 6th or 10th of December, I am not certain; I had notes -- I had a diary of that trip all the way through, but I lost that in Skagway, Alaska. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Which camp was it you left, -- Greenriver or Crescent creek? A Crescent creek, the 6th or 10th of December. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Just describe the progress of the expedition down the river according to your recollection of it. |
