Show 5282 Chaffin- D 3294 rapid, Little Giant rapid; it is not a bad rapid. It was pretty shallow there. As soon as we got over, the river was froze up, leaving the ice in a V- shape. Where they went over the top, one When they went down into this " V", this boat commenced to sink. They commenced to unload the stuff out. Before they could get it out, it sank, and pulled the other boat down. They went under the ice. Lost the boats. Q Right there, did you lose your equipment, too? A Sure, we did, most of it. Then we went back up the river from there, got some supplies up to my other camp, to the Moquie. Didn't lose all our stuff. We went to throwing stuff out, and saved part of it. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Can't you shorten this now? The boats were destroyed. MR. BLACKMAR: I think so. I think he is about through with his story. A We went black up the river and got our stuff and brought it down on rafts down to there, and then we gathered up our boats, we went down the river, tipped the boats up and loaded our stuff in, and went down. |
