Show roll ( each caah ) , frying pAn , a few 960 biscuits and some canned goods . ( R 3764 ) At Spencer Camp the current in the ( river rivex ) would shift its position from the ( middle iniddle ) of the ( channel cliannel ) ( 'to to ) the bank and cause the bank to give so that the camp ' and equipment were moved back on several occasions . The width of the river at that point he would judge ( to 'to to ) be three hundred or four hundied feet . These channel changes seem to occur regardless of the stage of water . Even ( between betiieen ) floods the discharge of the river appeared to change due to other conditions . In the daytime ( when wben ) the wind was ( blowing bloiving ) and sun shining the river would fall several inches ; at night it ( Avould would ) rise a corresponding amount , and so far as he knows , there were no rains anywhere in the river . These changes in the river were noted with reference to the positions of the bank and with depths when they were out ( with ivith ) the boats . He and Mr . Loper made a trip upstream from the mouth of Piute Canyon to Spencer Camp , a distance of about seventeen miles , for supplies . ( R . 3765- 3766 . ) The water in the river ( was ivas ) at low stage , and they towed the boat the entire distance , Loper having one end of the rope tied to the boat bow and the other at the side of the boat in such a way as to keep the boat so that the current flowed against the side and would keep it in water deep enough to float . He and Loper walked along on the sand bar as much as they could but most of the distance it was necessary to wade in the shallow , swift water . |
