Show ( Cataract Catarliat ) Canyon and a 451 ( re'sunic' resunic ) of theiT ( descent deseent ) ( from fi-oin fioin ) Green River , ( Wyoming Wyoilihig ) , and Gunnison ( Cross- Cross ) ing . ( From Froin ) Gunnison Crossing [ Greenriver , Utah ] to the ( liead head ) of the cataracts , from his ( point poilit ) of view , there ( wasn't wasnt ) a rapid ( worth Nvorth ) recording , ( and aiid ) was easy sailing except for sand bars . ( R . 1574-1575 . ) In this stretch of the river , they at times had difficulty in locating the channel , but no serious delay or ( mis- mis ) hap . They had considerable trouble with sand bars in Labyrinth Canyon . ( R . 1576 . ) He desired to change his testimony through Labyrinth Canyon as far as sand bars are ( con- con ) cerned by ( changing chancring ) the word ( 'ioccasionally" ioccasionally ) to ( "frequently frequently ) , " as they would run on sand bars every hour or so . ( R . 1577 . ) The sand bars offered hindrance to the extent that they would have to get out of the boat and walk alongside for perhaps a quarter of a mile . There ( didn't didnt ) seem to be any deeper channel in these places where the river spread out so ( much ini-ich iniich ) over the bars . They would get into a deeper channel if possible , because they ( didn't didnt ) care to drag the boats along . ( R . 1578 ) When he wrote his book he ( wasn't wasnt ) thinking about sand bars ; only about the rapids , for the reason that the sand bars ( didn't didnt ) hurt the boats , they only retarded the progress of the expedition . ( R . 1579 ) It would have taken considerably more water in Labyrinth Canyon to have removed the trouble |
