Show ittUM * VtiMttMfesC * V 909 does not recall seeing any boats on the Green River , , except at ( Wheeler's Wheelers ) Ranch , and a couple at ( Green- Green ) river Station . ( R . 3590 . ) These boats were just small rowboats , except tho ferry at Greenriver , which operated at certain stages of the water . The ferry was operated when the water was deep enough to cross , and not too ( high bigh ) to be dangerous . During low water , the river was forded on horseback , ( R . 3591 . ) ( Recross-Examination RecrossExamination ) ( R . , Vol . 20 , pp . 3591- 3605 ) : It is about ( seventy-five seventyfive ) miles by way of the ( river river' river ) from Cisco to Moab . There is no wagon road down the river , the road extending down only to ( Richard Richard- Richard ) son , about ( thirty-five thirtyfive tbirty-five tbirtyfive ) miles below Cisco . ( R . 3591 . ) He swam across the river to get the boat , about seven miles below Cisco , because that was a real nice stretch of the river and the water was deep . ( R . 3592 ) He could not give the number of ( second-feet secondfeet ) [ of water ] in the stream ; the place where he crossed being a narrow , sluggish , deep portion of the river . There was not a ford at that place ; it was merely a place about twenty feet wide , used for going back and forth across the river . The deep water was about that wide [ 20 ft . ] and the stream was not broken into channels . In order to reach the deep water , ( he be ) had to wade just a ( few few- few ) steps on the one side ; on the opposite side there was a straight bank which dropped off suddenly . He did not attempt to see ( how IlDw ) deep the water was , but it was too deep to wade . . ( R . 3594 . ) ( 33.107-31-vor 3310731vor ) 2-12 |
