Show uatmMKM aH aiktaeaUK 183 and it ( wasn't wasnt ) what they intended to do ; ( wasn't wasnt ) what they figured on was a practical scheme at all . So gave it up , and returned up to the Green River and started back to Greenriver Utah . , On way back had a good deal of trouble getting up the Green River ; had all the swift water to fight ; the river was very high at that time ; it was probably the first ( rim-off rimoff run-off runoff ) in the spring , and the river was very high ; would run up to where there was a sand bar showing up in the river , and the channel would be on either side of the sand bar . Found some of the channels on same side when they came down ; some of them were moved ; but it was a question then which channel to take to get back up there ; sometimes took the wrong channel ; . would then back up , and get into the other one , on the other side of the island ; had a lot of that kind of work getting up as far as they came with the boat . ( R . 671-672 . ) Soundings were made in order to determine the , river channel , especially on the downstream trip , a skiff being sent ahead of the boat in order to make soundings . Going back upstream thismethod was not feasible inasmuch as the current was too swift to row against ; however , some soundings were made . The trip in all consumed about two ( weeks' weeks ) time and a searching party was sent out to find if the boat was in trouble . The boat was tied up at a ranch possibly ten or twelve miles down the river from Greenriver and part of them ( went 'went went ) to the railroad |
