If that is correct , ( averaged averagecl ) slightly better than ten miles a day ; practically daylight to dark work . Were waiting nearly a week . During that interval took one boat voyage with a single boat and four of the party up the ( can- can ) yon ; went ten ( miles liffles ) further , through a rapid called . Bull Prog , which was somewhat rougher and steeper , than in Glen canyon , below ; then went up to a creek with some interesting cliff ( dwellings dwellhigs ) , passing an old dredge that had been abandoned ( i-n in ) ( tiie the ) river . That was the farthest point touched . Shortly after returned , the party for which ( they they- they ) were waiting came in . ( R . ( 2587-2588 25877-2,588 ) . ) On the down trip they hit occasional groundings and sand bars .
