Show it went sideways out into 1308 the stream and broke the rope , turned around , and we went down and back to Moab . Went back under power . ( R . 5122-5123 . ) ( He Ile ) saw where the wreck of the Undine had lodged , it being a considerable distance below the riffle [ where the rope was broken ] but he ( doesn't doesnt ) know how far it had floated downstream after it had capsized . The effect of using the rope and capstan and ( keep keep- keep ) ¬ ing the power on the boat going at the same ( time tfine ) was to cause the boat to be carried into the water on slack rope , exposing the sides to the swift current . ( R . 5124-5125 . ) ( Cross-examination Crossexamination ) ( R . , Vol . 29 , pp . 5125-5127 ) : He has crossed considerable stock at Moab and at times when it was unnecessary to swim the cattle ; the water would be low enough the middle of July and the fore ( part pa'rt part ) of August to cross stock without swimming . It requires considerable skill to cross cattle in the stream when it is necessary to swim them , but not much when they do not have to swim . When it is necessary to swim them they sometimes get in the water and mill around ( R . 5125-5126 ) , and if the men with the cattle ( don't dont ) know their ( busi busi- busi ) ness they lose some ( R . 5127 ) . Redirect examination ( R . , Vol . 29 , p . 5127 ) : The shallowest he ever saw the water at any of the shallow fords was when it would come about to the point of the shoulders or bellies of the animals . Even at the lowest water he always picked the place to cross and picked the shallow places . ( R . 5127 . ) |
