If ( didn't didnt ) hold the boat up there until the ( water vslater ) got washed under that boat , if you let it float , you get it tighter and tighter ; if you hold the boat up there and get the water away from it , you get a channel through and get loose . ( ( E R ) . 728-730 . ) After leaving the mouth of the Green River the party proceeded up the Colorado River as far as the Slide , where the boat was thrown back out of its course and onto the bank . After looking the situation over it was decided that it would be ( im- im ) possible to take the boat up the Slide and the trip back to Greenriver was started . ( R . 730-731 . ) The trouble there was not the width of their boat . The water came through so fast they ( eouldii't eouldiit ) go . through it . No trouble with the power . Had plenty of power ( for -for for ) that size boat for ordinary river navigation . Had plenty of power . There was no boat that could get up , because it would drown you , sink you right there . The only thing that saved them from getting drowned was , ( when -NAien NAien ) he got up to it ( he lie ) saw what he was up against , and he swung the bow over and butted into the rocks ; it ( threw threvr ) him out ; he ( didn't didnt ) get the swell of the water over him . That is the fact of it . . ( R . . 731-732 . ) The trip back up the , [ ( Green Greeii ) ] river ( wasn't wasnt ) quite as hard as the trip down , although the crew was ( fight- fight ) ing sand bars all the way . The sand bars were ( en- en ) countered all the way along the trip . . ( R . . 732-733 . . ) |
