Show ( Started Staxted ) out ( from fToin ) the dock ( 377 877 ) at ( Moab Alloab ) , and ( tiho the ) ( fix'st fixst ) ( day lay ) they camped ( iu in ) the vicinity of the Kane ( Greek Creek ) ( well 'Well Well ) , the Shafer Oil and Gas , the first one on them river ; that is about eighteen miles south of ( Moab Aloab ) by the river . ( R . 1319 . ) Just below the ( Moab Aloab ) ( dock lock ) where the river makes a turn they had trouble with sand bars , both going down and coming up stream . We had ( difficulty difficultir ) going down the river where the stretches of the river were straight . On the bends had no ( diffi diffi- diffi ) ¬ culty , but they were grounded off and on all the time , clear from where they started down to the junction of the rivers . In coming back they were able to go over some of the stretches where they got grounded when they went down , indicating that there were shifting sands in the river bottom . ( On Oil ) way down they had a river map . ( R . 1319 . ) ( Recside Reeside ) sat in the bow ( and alid ) noted where they got grounded going down and other features of ( geol geol- geol ) ¬ ogy ; would stop , say , two or three or four hours at a place , collect fossils out of the ( limestone Iiii-lestone Iiiilestone ) , ( meas ilieas- ilieas ) ¬ ure the sections , ( anything --anything anything ) of geological interest ; ( where xvhere ) they took photographs or where they grounded , Reeside put ( down dowil ) on that ( map inap ) . Their experience from Shafer well ( downstream do-wnstretiln downstretiln ) ( was NN"as NNas ) just about the ( same saine ) as it was getting to that point ; grounded ( on oil ) the straight stretches , ( and aild ) ( had bad ) ( no uo ) trouble ( on oil ) the ( bends beilds ) . |
