Testimony by Col . Dent ( Abs .

Shaw ( Abs . R . vol . 2 , p . 922 ) notes frequent groundings ( with Nitli ) boat drawing between 6 inches and 8 inches of water . Testimony by Virgil Baldwin ( Abs . R . vol . 1 , ( P- P ) 307 ) and numerous others as listed below indicates , , that the depths are so shallow that boats drawing less than 21 / 2 feet frequently ground . The Master quotes at length ( M . R . pp . 101-103 ) from Lieut . ( Leeds' Leeds ) Survey ( 61st Cong . , 2nd Sess . , House ( Doc Doe ) . . ( 953 90-3 ) ) . With reference to the trip ( con- con ) tained in this report by Hughes in November , 1908 , the water on the Colorado ( Grand ) was flowing 3,500 cubic feet per second . At this stage Hughes found crossing depths of between 2Y and 3 feet , but |
