Show 5155 Bennett- C 3167 the water was sufficiently shallow to permit you to wade? A Certainly. Q And that would be off to the edge, away from the deep water? A Be out along the edge of the bars, yes. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Is that river there in a box canyon, or are there banks on either side? A On side of the river in most cases is where you can walk along the side of it; the other side would be the wall rock. Q Then you could walk up the side without wading the river, couldn't you? A I could have, but I would have had to get out in deep enough to float the boat; maybe places where there was very few inches of water, only two or three. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q And did you pole some of the distance? A Certainly. Q I didn't hear you. A Yes sir. Q You say certainly you did? A Yes sir. Q Did you row part of the distance? A Very little of it. Q Mostly walking and poling? A Yes sir. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. |
