Show ( camps canips ) to different points 170 downstream . ( Defendant's Defendants ) ( Ex- Ex ) hibit 29 is a picture of the boat when we were carrying some horses . ( R . 5271 , Vol . 30 . ) At times the barge would be kept down the river for several days , during which time we would be engaged in boating between different points ( down- down ) stream . At times we would have to remain downstream with parties of geologists or other parties for three or four days ; these parties usually took their meals on the boat and used it as headquarters ; they would make trips into the country on both sides of the river , come back to the boat that night , and perhaps next morning we would take them to another section at which they desired to land . ( R . ( 5272-3 5272-03 ) , Vol . 30 . ) We made trips ( down doNv-n doNvn ) to Lockhart , also several trips below No . 2 Well . The river water in no way affected our engine . We used river water in our radiator without any necessity of letting the water settle before putting it in the radiator . We had a tank connected with the radiator and our cooling system was practical and effective . ( R . 5274 , Vol . 30 . ) Isaac ( W IV ) . Stark testified : I am . 47 years old and for a time lived in the Green River section . I made a trip with Mr . Wolverton on the Wilmont to Moab and also from his ranch to Green River , Utah , ( and wid ) return . I also made many short row boat trips up and ( down doNvn ) the stream . When a man is coming upstream in a row boat with his back to the ( cur- cur ) rent he will sometimes nose into a sand bar . On my Moab trip in the Wilmont I recall only one instance where we were stuck on a bar , as a result of trying to avoid an eddy . We were some minutes poling off the bar but did not get out of the boat . ( R . 5275-8 , Vol . 30 . ) The pictures , contained in ( Defendant's Defendants ) Exhibit No . 31 were taken at different points along the Green and Colorado rivers , between Green River , Utah , and ( Moab Aloab ) . ( R . 5278-82 , Vol . 30 . ) Knox Patterson testified : I have taken three round trips from Moab to Well No . 1 on the big barge of Moab Garage Company and have also taken two or three trips on smaller boats of that company . I recall no obstacles or ( diffi- diffi ) culties being encountered by the big barge ( on -on on ) either of my trips and none were encountered on my trips in the smaller boats of that company . ( My ATy ) first trip on the barge was shortly after No . 1 Well blew in , and my other trips were in the succeeding months . |
