Show They adopted the ( Galloway G'alloway Galloway ) 231 method of ( coming coilling ) through those rapids , that is , stern foremost ; ( almost aliliost ) invariably , if the rapid had rocks in it , would use that method , because it gives a lot of satisfaction to see the danger that is directly ahead ; you are not looking over your shoulder ( and and- and ) just getting a half Idea of what it is ; you can see it ; if you are strong enough , you can turn the boat part way and pull it into a new channel and avoid the rocks . His ( broth- broth ) ( er's ers erls ) boat was a fourth boat . He had one of the boats they had used on their first trip . ( ( E R ) . 827- 830 ) . The water in Cataract Canyon was at about the same stage as when he ( made niade ) his first trip in 1911 , probably six inches higher . Some of the rapids had different channels ; that is , there ( wouldn't wouldnt ) be as much water on one side as there was on the other . The rapids had changed little , if any . He had with ( him Min ) notes which were taken on his first trip and from these notes he was able to ( de- de ) ( termine terniine ) exactly where they were located and to determine where the rapids would be . Equipment and supplies that could not be stored in the compartments of the boats were carried around some of the rapids . ( R . 830-831 . ) Followed same method on first trip ; did . that in many cases ; they would take ( two-thirds twothirds ) of the stuff , out of the boats and carry it around to make the boats easier to handle , ( and aiad ) to make them so they would have the stuff saved in case lost the boats ; that was always in their ( minds ininds ) in these rapids . .
