Show 4831 Swanholm- D 2845 A Yes, both in motor difficulties and boat troubles. Q And what? A Boat troubles, in trying to avoid ice cakes, which were two to three, perhaps four inches thick, in places, and the motor would freeze up. The water at that time was just filled with a sort of slush ice; the propeller wouldn't force the water up as a cooling medium; frequently stop and clean out the motor. Q What about sandbars? A didn't offer any more trouble then than they had in the past; always figure on delays on them, but no damage was done. Q How did the rest of your party come out? A That was the extent of the party, four of us, including myself. Q What became of the pack outfit? A The pack outfit, just working in cooperation with my camp, returned over to one of the mean parties, I believe to Mr. Moore's party. MR. BLACKMAR: That is all. THE SPECIAL MASTER: We will suspend here, gentlemen, today, and meet at 9: 30 tomorrow morning. ( Thereupon, at 5: 15 P. M., and adjournment was taken until Thursday, October 10, 1929, at 9: 30 o'clock A. M.) |
