Show His brother made a pulley 234 out of a cottonwood log to run on this rope , and the next morning ( he lie ) was pretty much worn with his work through ( Cata- Cata ) ract ( Canyon-believe Canyonbelieve ) he lost fifteen pounds ( in iii ) weight , handling the three boats . ( ( B R ) . 834 . ) He was a little fresher than his brother ; he ( witness ) was the first out to the boat , using this pulley going out ; he ( ( witness -witness witness ) ) followed ; they tacked canvas around the cockpit , this open part , so the water ( wouldn't wouldnt vouldnyt ) run in ; baled that part of the boat out ; that made the boat lighter ; and then tacked canvas around the hatch cover that ( was -was was ) underneath the water , and excluded the water from running in , and we baled that part out . Then they took the ( ma- ma ) terial out and attached it to this pulley , and the men on shore took the material to the shore in that way . The maps were the first things that were sent ashore ; they were dry ; there was very little lost from anything getting wet . The boat ( was -"Tas Tas ) on that rock for ( twenty-four twentyfour twelity-four twelityfour ) hours . He still thought he would run the rapid . He took all the material out of the second boat , and if you can run a rapid with a boat you are through in a very few ( minutes inillutes ) . If you take the boat ( out-if outif ) you carry your ( stuff-it stuffit ) takes practically a day to do it ; there is a great temptation always to run the rapid if one can . ( R . 835 . ) Took the chance in almost every case , of running a rapid , if there was any possible chance for it . . He made a second attempt ; got too close to the shore ; this place where he speaks of water running |
