Show ( jf In that stretch we were probably hung up two or three times but that was all in the ( day's days ) work . In Labyrinth Canyon we had quite a little trouble with sand bars , at times getting out of the boat and at other times rocking it loose . From the end of Labyrinth Canyon to Cataract Canyon we possibly grounded once or twice . ( R . 1783 , Vol . 10 . ) Through Cataract Canyon we lost no boats , ( port- port ) aging our cargoes at some ( oi of ) the rapids and at places lining the boats ; at other places running the rapids without either portaging or lining . ( R . 1786-7 , Vol . 10 . ) We ran all of the ( water vater ) in ( NIarrow Narrow ) Canyon and encountered no difficulties between the end of that canyon and Lees Ferry except grounding on sand bars . ( R . 1788 , Vol . 10 . ) ( I 1 ) ( don't dont ) think I could have taken my boat from Lees Ferry back up to Hite alone , although possibly I could have done so . I possibly could have taken my boat from the mouth of the Green River up to Green River , ( "Utah Utah Utah ) , but could not have rowed all the way ; it would depend a good deal on the stage of water . ( R . 1792-3 , Vol . 10 . ) On my 1909 trip with Mr . Galloway he was the only member of the party who was familiar with the river . ( R . 1797-8 , Vol . 10 . ) ( Constantino Constantine ) Rodin testified : I left Green River , Utah , on November 10 , 1927 , with a party in charge of Mr . LaRue , the ( witness Nvitness ) , Owen R . Clark being in the party . Between Green River , Utah , and Cataract Canyon some of the boats grounded quite a few times the first few days and later at ( times tirnes ) . I ( can't cant ) tell how many times we encountered bars in Labyrinth Canyon , but if you are not watching the swift current will take you on to the bars , where naturally the boat will get stuck and you will have to get out and push it off to deeper water . We had quiet a little difficulty in Cataract Canyon . ( R . 1800-4 , Vol . 10 . ) In the section below Cataract Canyon we sometimes had to get out and push a boat off a bar , but that did not occur every day . At times some of the boats stuck and some did not . We did not take on any supplies between Green River , Utah , and Lees Ferry . ( R . 1808 , Vol . 10 . ) Our great trouble between Cataract Canyon and Lees Ferry was to keep ( warm varm ) enough . ( R . 1809 , Vol . 10 . ) Valentine Woodbury testified : I was on the trip in Mr . ( LaRue's LaRues ) party with the witnesses Clark and Rodin . My boat was loaded so that it had a draft of 9 or 10 inches . |
