Show Kolb- D 823 MR. COLLINS: Take your time. A We passed the San Rafael river at 2: 45; Wolverton's old ranch was abandoned, or the house was close; just below, on the opposite side, we passed Twin Alcoves, a place mentioned by Dellenbaugh in his book, at 4: 10. We camped at 5: 45 on the right side, an hour's run below Twin Alcoves. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q That is the first day? A The first day, one hour's run below Twin Alcoves. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q After you left the mouth of the San Rafael did you have any trouble with the sandbars? A My note reads: " Tuesday, September 13th; Morning brisk, cool; started at 8: 00 A. M.; struck one sandbar at 8: 30." That is the only note I made. We didn't make a note of these incidents of getting on sandbars, as a rule; that was just incidental to the work. It was what we call quiet water. We were trying to make time, and they annoyed us. We would sometimes have to get out of the boat to lighten it, and left it and pull it around, and we would climb in again; we would tamp around with a stick in the deeper water, or judge by the current; simply said he made mistake, if one missed it and the other didn't; it was joke on him. That is the note I made,-- 2793 |
