Show The lowering of the ( water wititer ) 732 would tend to force the water into a more definite channel . ( Dur Dur- Dur ) ing the infrequent raises in the river , maybe a matter of a few inches to as much as a foot ( dur dur- dur ) ing this 1926 period , ( the tlie ) water would cover the bars ; when the bars are covered , it would be almost impossible to find a definite channel . ( R . 2833 . ) He engaged in that ( work worl- worl ) in 1926 and from time to time he noticed changes in the channel . That refers to trips up and down the river where they ( frequent frequently ) followed one channel . The changes occur sometimes as frequently as within ( twenty- twenty ) four hours ; sometimes they would hold the same channel during the whole course of the time we were there . To get off sand bars during the ( warm warin ) and mild weather , just went over and pulled themselves off the bar to get back into deep water again ; after the cold weather came and the ( freeze- freeze ) up in December , we were inclined to stay in the boat more , and try to push ourselves off . If that ( didn't didnt ) work , it was necessary to get out and lift the boat off . The boat ( lias has ) a sharp keel and that would settle ( down clown ) pretty deep into the bars when you would hit ( them-a thema ) keel ( boat-not boatnot ) what is gen ¬ ( erally eraUy ) termed a keel boat , but it has a projection that extends about three inches below the ( bottom bottoni ) of the boat ; it is not a ( weighted iveighted ) keel , however ; a hard wood projection on the bottom of the boat , into which the ribs fit .
