Show Kolb- D 843 A Without a load; and when loaded the weight would be between sixteen hundred and two thousand pounds. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q You mean when loaded both with supplies and men? A Not the men, no sir. Q When loaded the weight would be what? A Between sixteen hundred and two thousand pounds; and on account of the provisions which we were constantly using, the weight was getting lighter as we would go downstream. Q Yes, naturally; but in addition to that there was the weight of the men? A Yes sir. Q That would be three men to a boat, approximately? A Yes, about three men to a boat. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q That would be in the neighborhood of five hundred pound additional? A Yes sir. Q What date did you arrive at the mouth of the San Juan? A We weren't carrying these men as we did in the upper section, through Glen canyon; they continued the survey; we only carried them when they would cross from one side to the other. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q So as a rule there wouldn't be more than one man in a boat? A Sometimes two, but very seldom more than two. We continued with the survey down to Hall's crossing. 2813 |
