The trip consumed from four to five days in going from t ( Greemiver Greenriver ) down to the ( month mouth ) of the Green ( Riv Riv' Riv ) £ r . ( R . 727-728 . ) 1 ( Couldn't Couldnt ) tell how ( many inany ) sand bars got stuck on , in that section ; there were quite a number of ( them thelm ) ; ( twenty-five twentyfive ) , thirty , somewhere in there , anyway . When got stuck on sand bars would have to get off and work around the boat ; sometimes take a line , run it over where we could get it fast and make it tight on the capstan . , and tighten it up , then work the current next to the boat and wash the sand away from it , get the current started and wash the sand away ; then take shovels in the bed and start the water under it ; then it would com ( ¬ - ) mence to ( wash -Nvash Nvash ) . Would start water ( nnder under ) boat by working from above the boat and down , had to go under it some corner , some place , get the current started . When the boat hit the sand it made a ( dead lead ) water right ( there -there there ) ; start in on one side and ( work -xiork xiork ) with the shovels until we ( get cret ) the water started . ( Didn't Didnt ) ( take talce ) long to cut it when it gets started once . That is ( the -the the ) way worked it . ( Made -Made Made ) a line tight , so the boat ( couldn't couldnt ) move , and managed to get started , and in that ( way iray ) it will work loose . In order to do the work with a shovel in there , it was necessary that somebody get in the water ; all got out and worked hard all around , everybody |
