Show 874 River rising effect is different ; crossing bars in different places , bars on inside of bends , could not ctell exactly where bars would be ; ( when wlien ) river falls , cuts out and spreads out and deposits may be half a mile farther down . That is the time to be running boats to make a channel . ( R . 3444-3445 . ) Plenty of water on the outside of a bend . ( R . 3445 . ) Crossing from one bend to the other you get the trouble locating the channel ( , . ) ( R . 3445 . ) ( Recross-examination Recrossexamination ) ( R . Vol . 18 , pp . 3447- 3448 ) : ( In 111 ) 1903-4-5 went down the river deer hunting ; it was in October . Trips made in a rowboat . Easier to find a channel coming upstream ; going down have a current three miles faster . ( R . 3447-3448 . ) These trips made in rowboat not a power boat . It is a good deal easier to find a ( channel ebannel ) coming upstream than going down ; going down you have a current three miles faster ; to get steerage way coming back up you run ( slightly sliglitly ) faster than the water , to keep ahead of it and get steerage way ; you have plenty time to pick out your course and find the channel . Coming down , you would have trouble , because you come on to it too suddenly . ( R . 3447- 3448 . ) Further examination ( R . , Vol . 18 , p . 3448 ) : On the barge that he built to take supplies on the Government expedition ( he lie ) loaded ten tons , and went to the junction of the Green and Colorado Rivers and cached the stuff there .
