He and his brother actually examined these ( rap- rap ) ids in Cataract Canyon . before they ran them , in ( Qvery every ) bad rapid , and would make about ten miles a day through those rapids for the reason , that they were spending most of the time ( on ou ) , the shore examining the rapids . They were there to get pictures putting their boats through violent water ; that is what they wanted , some motion pictures . The game was in its infancy then , but they had a camera , and were making motion pictures of shooting rapids for the thrill they would give . It was a sporting event . ( ( B R ) . 793-794 . ) Hoped to nialcesome money out of it . ( ( K R ) . 793-794 . ) . After they got out of Cataract Canyon there was a short canyon called Narrow ( Canyon Canyox-a Canyoxa ) and it is ( ap- ap ) proximately one hundred eighty miles from the end of Cataract Canyon to Lees ( Ferry FeTry ) . Lees Ferry is seven miles south of the Utah line by the river . There was quiet water in Narrow Canyon . It seemed very quiet and they had to pull hard ( down- down ) stream to make progress . ( ( B R ) . 794 . ) Frequently they would get on a bar or an island - which did ( not uot ) come above and ( there 'there there ) would be a channel on either side but he ( doesn't doesnt ) remember that he had ( difficulty difficuffy ) in grounding on sand ( bars baTs ) or ( cross- cross ) ing bars . Narrow Canyon is about six miles long . |
