I might have sont a man there one year, but I don't remember. I had a man hired once in a while to do that work. I think I was on that bar some time during the year. Q I suppose during that twenty- three year experience on the river you made hundreds of trips in boats? A I couldn't say as to that, but I made a number of trips, great many short and long trips, crossing the river and hauling wood across and so on. Q You made a great many trips during most of those years up and down the river for greater or less distances? A Yes. Q You saw many other people make similar trips? A Not a great many; I didn't see very many people; very few people. I have been there for a year and I don't think I saw any one pass by our place. Q Yes, but there were other people that operated boats in those various parties you were connected with that went on trips where you didn't go, weren't there? A Yes, there was other parties went that I didn't go, but not very many. There wasn't a great deal of traffic on the river. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Wasn't crowded.
