Show ( ware were ) brought to be by boat at 118 a point a few miles below tho mouth of Aztec ( Creek Creelc ) . ( R . 3878 , Vol . 21 . ) 1 had and studied a map of the San Juan River before ( starting" starting starting ) on the 1921 expedition , but if I had had a map of recent date like Exhibit 10 before I started down the river it ( would -would would ) have been of very material aid in navigating that river . ( R . 3879-80 , Vol . 21 . ) William R . ( Chenoeiveth Chenoesveth ) testified : I am a topographic , engineer employed ( 'by by ) the Department of the Interior . In 1921 I was on the profile survey from the mouth of the Green to the mouth of the San Juan . We had different kinds of boats at different times . Leaving Green River , Utah , on September 12 , 1921 , we had four ( 18-foot 18foot ) boats with a 3V ! ( -foot foot ) beam and an ( 18-inch 18inch ) draft , one boat having an outboard motor . We reached the mouth of the Green on September 15th . There were rapids ( between bet-ween between ) Green River , Utah , and the mouth of the San Rafael , but I recall no ( diffi- diffi ) culty in getting our boats through , and recall no difficulty in Labyrinth or ( Stilhvater Stillwater ) Canyons , and ( don't dont ) recall ( encoun- encoun ) tering any sand bars . We commenced our survey at the mouth of the Green . On Sheet 13 of Exhibit 10 I have indicated rapids encountered , and islands . We continued this survey on down through Cataract Canyon . ( R . 3884-91 , Vol . 21 . ) Before the trip I have mentioned , to wit , in July and August , 1921 , we went overland to the Colorado River at the mouth of the Dirty Devil , and continued down to ( Hall's Halls ) Crossing , where I left the river and went overland to Green River , ( Utah TJtah ) , to get an outfit for the trip and survey ( men- men ) tioned above . After getting through Cataract Canyon that we surveyed I passed on down the Colorado River to the mouth of the San Juan and helped Mr . Fowler in the survey At Navajo Creek , and observed that a rapid I had seen on my first visit there at the mouth of North Wash , which as I remember then had about a ( 5-foot 5foot ) fall , , had distributed downstream and I ( don't dont ) suppose there was any perceptible fall . At ( the -the the ) mouth of the San Juan I met an old man with a large , clumsy row boat coming downstream , , and he said he had come down from Grand Junction , Colorado . . ( R . 3891-7 Vol 21 ) , . . John ( Bernard Bei-nard Beinard ) Reeside , Jr . , testified : I am a ( geologist reologist ) employed by the U . S . G . S . , and between August 4th and August 10th , 1926 , made a boat trip from Moab to the mouth |
