Show He might have used poles 1394 or oars . He carried no poles but did carry oars always on the motor boats . The reason ( he lie ) carried oars was that the engines ( he lie ) used were rather crude , inferior , and would ( fre- fre ) quently stop , and he would row ashore and at times . would use them to get off of sand bars . He found the sand bars to be the most troublesome in July and the last of August and would have trouble only at the mouth of washes that brought floods in after heavy rains . . What ( he lie ) terms Spring Canyon , he found ( particu particu- particu ) ¬ larly troublesome . It is about fifty miles ( below below- below ) Greenriver . ( R . 5405 . ) He never had any trouble at the [ mouth of the San Rafael , although there is a good deal of debris . and sand carried down that stream . In October and November he found the best water to operate boats . Conditions were most ( objection objection- objection ) ¬ able when the spring water was going down in the latter part of June and forepart of July . He ( didn't didnt ) get the same conditions on the river from heavy rains . as he did from spring floods , the ( debris d6bris ) thrown into the river from floods being strictly local . ( R . 5406 . ) After a flood comes in from one of the side canyons it is gone in a few days , except as in the case of Spring Canyon where the river is some twelve or fifteen hundred feet wide , and frequently the water spreads , sand nearly across the river . He ( doesn't doesnt ) understand or know the meaning of the words " ( crossing "crossing crossing ) bar . ( u " ) |
