( -There There ) has been no direct ( testimony testimouy ) with regard to depths in Cataract Canyon . The rowboats which have gone downstream through this stretch of water had drafts of between 6 inches and 18 inches ( , . ) There ( was -was was ) no evidence that these boats grounded between the rapids and it may therefore be assumed that channel depths between the rapids generally ( ex- ex ) ceeded 18 inches . Evidence shows that the ( major major- major ) ¬ ity of rapids in Cataract Canyon have been formed by an accumulation of boulders and large rocks in the channel over and around which the water passes . It is evident that under such conditions depths may range from zero where the boulders stick out of the water to several feet between them . The ( velocity velocitr ) of the water is so great that the sand and gravel bars which predominate behind the ( rif- rif ) fles on the ( G-reen Green Green ) River are not formed in Cataract Canyon . The river is narrower and depths are |
