Show 3348 Aurand- C 1373 A Because we wanted to see the formations in the river bottom which were not visible by going over the top. Q That is the only reason? A Yes sir. Q Otherwise you would have walked down? A We might have. Q You mean you could have? A We could have, very nicely. Q You didn't care much about rowing up stream, did you? A We couldn't; we tried it. Q You tried it? A Yes sir. Q Tried it, and could not row up stream? A We went three miles up stream, and had to give it up. Q Then you didn't leave your boat down there at the well tied up? A We later went back and left the boat. Q When did you later go back? A The same morning. Q Then on that trip, as I understand you now, you rowed down to the Shafer well, then you tried to row back up to Moab? A No, I beg your pardon; I didn't say to Moab. Q DIDN'T you start out at Moab when you covered these three miles? A Yes sir. |
