Foivler testified : I am a topographic engineer with the U . S . G . S . , and was on the 1921 survey from ( Lees Leas ) Ferry up to about Mile 51 , ( having- having having ) nine men in my party most of the time . I started upstream from Lees Ferry on ( JuJy July ) 4th with a row boat operated by Jerry Johnson and equipped with an Evinrude motor . We ( didn't didnt ) move our camp from Lees Ferry until a large motor boat arrived there and then moved upstream eleven miles , using our small boat for that purpose , the Evinrude motor in which got out of order and broke down entirely . We were at different camps above Lees Ferry and our supplies were brought up the river to us from Lees Ferry in a boat operated by Mr . ( Marrs Alarrs ) . On one occasion I saw his boat stuck and the crew were wading around trying to find a channel . While there I saw only one old prospector in a boat aside from the government parties . A rise in the river occasioned by rains would cause changes in the channel within 24 to ( 48 4S ) hours ; I ( re- re ) member noticing this at Mile 41 . ( R . 3957-69 , Vol . 22 . ) My survey extended back from the river about ten miles and it was necessary for me to have pack trains and I brought supplies with my pack outfit when our survey work was proceeding back from the river .

Below Moab we used a large ( flat-bottom flatbottom ) boat 10 feet wide and 30 feet long for two days , and we also had ( two t-wo two ) row boats . We found the big boat on the beach near Moab bridge and used it for a houseboat until it sprung a leak and sank , and then had delivered to us an ( 11-foot 11foot ) boat with a ( 5-foot 5foot ) beam and a ( 10-inch 10inch ) draft , which was put in the river at Moab and brought down to where we were working . ( R . 4017-25 , Vol . 22 . ) On the stretch of river between Moab and the mouth of the Green , I made no observations with reference to the channel or sand bars or anything of that character ( "other other ) than when we were pulling in shore and leaving shore .
