Before the powder was sent for the boat was : , turned around and an attempt made to break th Q ; ice with the paddle wheel but it was soon ( discov discov- discov ) ¬ , ( ered cred ) the ice was too thick and some of the paddles ( were -were were ) broken . It was therefore decided to abandoni . such a course and the boat was taken down to . Shafer No . ( 1 I ) well . ( R 1194-1197 . ) In his best judgment about forty trips were madet down to the oil wells and back in 1927 and ( thirty thirty- thirty ) ( trips rips ) were made in 1928 . All of the trips ( enumer ellumer-- ellumer ) ¬ ated by him except those in 1928 , were made with ( , . ) the big boat .
