Show The hull of the ( Punkin Punkht ) 1290 Seed is sunk about twelve miles down the river , where it is tied up to the bank , and the motor has been taken out of it . Passengers were carried on the river for ( compen compen- compen ) sation , different charges being made according to the distance hauled . The rate to Shafer No . 1 well was about twenty dollars a day for the boat , or two dollars and a half for each passenger each way . The charge was twenty dollars if they took the boat after the Chandler boat was built ; before that , the charge was more for the ( Punkin Punlzin ) Seed . ( R . 5064 ) A charge of ( twenty-five twentyfive ) dollars for the Chandler boat was made to Shafer No . 2 well , or three dollars per passenger each way . A minimum of ( twenty-five twentyfive ) dollars was as cheap as they could go to Shafer No . 2 with the Chandler boat ; that is , whether there was one ( pas- pas ) senger or seven . The minimum charge to ( Lock- Lock ) hart was twenty dollars a day . He ( didn't didnt ) make any trips down there but did take oil men down who wanted to stay a couple of days . If he was gone three days the charge would be sixty dollars for the trip . The easiest time of year to operate was after the snow started to melt and the river started to rise , from April to the middle or last of July , when there ( was -was was ) lots of water in the river . ( R . 5064 . ) He ( would -would would ) rather navigate the river in high water than any other time and could make as quick time up as in low water , and they ( didn't didnt clidn't clidnt ) have any trouble operating up on the return trips . |
