Show Baldwin- D 1187 there, pretty good land; outside of that it looked pretty rough to me. Q How many sections? A I imagine five or six sections; I don't know. Q Have you had any experience on the river with the operation of small boats? A On the Colorado river? Q Yes. A Very often I would use a smaller boat to make a trip down to the well and back, something they needed in a hurry, or take some one down that wanted to go, connected with the well. Q Did you have any difficulty in operating that smaller boat? A Yes, the twenty- seven foot boat I mentioned, if we had very much of the load in it, we would have quite a big of difficulty getting across the shallow places. Q Did you make a trip on that river recently, between Moab and the mouth of the Green river? A Yes. Q Who was on that trip? A Mr. Ryan, I believe, Colonel Dent, I think. Q Did you have any difficulty taking that boat either down of up stream? A Yes, various places we got stuck, as usual. Q Both down the river and up the river? A Yes. 3159 |
