Q Did you have occasion to observe the San Juan river while you were there that time as to its stage, whether it was high or low water? A Yes. Q What about it, was it high or low water? A That year there was not very much water in the river at that time; it was rather shallow. Q It was what? A Rather shallow, I consider, about not over waist deep. Q While you were there did you have occasion to cross the San Juan river? A I was in it most every day. Q How did you cross? A Just waded. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q How wide was the channel at that time? A Well, I should judge about two hundred feet. Q What deep most of the way? A No. Q How far? A In the main current it was about waist deep. |
