Show 821 little time . They ( couldn't couldnt ) ( toucli touch ) the bottom ( with Wlith ) ( -in in ) oar . ( R . 3148 . ) The rock was submerged , not visible . In November of the same year ( he lie ) made another iirip upstream to Bull Frog rapid , from Rincon , a distance of about ( twenty-four twentyfour ) miles . The trip * up required two days because of a stop part of one afternoon to explore some old ruins . This trip up was made by rowing , towing , and poling , as before . At Bull Frog rapid they built a raft from parts of ( tlie the ) cabin of an old dredge that was there . ( R . 3149 . ) The raft was about twenty feet long , ten feet wide , two sections of it possibly a foot ( thick thick- thick ) . It was made of flooring ( litmber himber ) and ( two-by-fours twobyfours ) ( stacked staclwd- staclwd ) one on top of another and nailed together three deep . The raft was fastened together by ropes and cables and carried no load whatever , the three men riding in the boat . In going down to Rincon the raft was hung up on a bad rock below Lake Canyon rapid ( arid and ) it was necessary to pole it off the bedrock until they got it below where the bedrock sticks up . ( R . 3150 . ) To do this it was necessary to get ( into hito ) the river , ( -which which ) they waded clear across , and the greatest depth they found was about two feet of water and that only in stretches , the widest not being deep ( enough enougli ) to get the raft through . They thought they were in the channel but ( weren't werent ) positive about it and ( couldn't couldnt ) even pole the raft through . The bed at that place is all rock ( bottom bottorn ) . |
