Show 56 through Glen Canyon on these trips . My daughter was with me on two separate trips where the wives of men going with me were in the party . My daughter does not swim . Members of the parties I take through Glen Canyon on these trips do not wear life preservers . ( R . 2281-3 , Vol . 12 . ) We usually figure on about five days actual running time for the trip from Crescent Creek to Lees Ferry , with three or four days off for side trips . I know of the place on the Colorado River where there is a reef or strata of rock running across the stream ; it is 10 or 15 miles below Halls Crossing . There is a little narrow channel to the right of the island which we go down without difficulty ; that channel is possibly 40 or 50 feet wide and there is no place where it is less than a foot deep . There are parts ot the channel where the water would be 2 or ( 3'feet 3feet ) deep at any stage of water I have ever seen . ( R . 2284-6 , Vol . 12 . ) Dean Daily testified : I live in Hollywood , am 25 years old , have had experience in boating on the Columbia , Snake , Colorado and Green Rivers and was with the Pathe Bray expedition in 1927 , on the Colorado River .

In going through Cataract Canyon we had a good deal of difficulty ; ( "the the ) water was very ( shal- shal ) low ; ive were continually grounding , all the time . " When you ask me about Cataract Canyon , do you mean the place where ( "the the ) first series , of small riffles begins ? " I know where the junction of the Green and Colorado is located and ( "the the ) first part below the junction is very shallow water ; we hit on sand ( bars -bars bars ) ; and below that the sand seems to give way to small pebbles , that is , the stream is low , and you grate along on sort of riffles in the stream ; it is not sand , , but the surface is very close to the water , and we grated along there . " I never wore a life preserver but all the rest of the party wore them . ( R . 2297-2305 , Vol . 12 . ) Bert Loper testified : In the fall of 1893 , , 1 went to a point 25 or 30 miles above Bluff and tested the bars for gold . About March 1 , 1894 , 1 went to the foot of Honaker Trail , where supplies were delivered overland and we carried |
