Show The supplies for the 730 ( carnp camp ) which was ( estab- estab ) lished near Moab were obtained from the town of Moab . Most of the provisions for the maintenance of the other camp located downstream . were all brought down on a barge ; some were brought ( down clown ) with a little boat . During the time that ( he lie ) was there it was necessary for the camp to be supplied in limited quantities . During this period of 1926 the oil camps were operating probably at full ( ca- ca ) pacity and the camps were requiring the ( equip- equip ) ment to be brought down the river on the barge , and ( when -when when ) these trips would start from Moab he would be advised by telephone ( when'the whenthe ) barge would be expected to start , and if he could ( antici antici- antici ) pate his needs he would send in an order for ( provi provi- provi ) sions for the camps , or his own camp ; and times when the barge was only making a trip to No . ( 1 I ) they would have to go out with their pack string at No . ( 1 I ) and bring it down to No . 2 or get out with the boat at No . 1 and bring it down to No . 2 . ( ( B R ) . 2830 . ) He has made trips on the ( Moab Ivloab ) barge . About the first of December 1926 ( he lie ) ( was -was was ) on the boat as , , he came out . ( ( E R ) . 2830-2831 . ) During that trip there were frequent delays caused by striking obstructions ( in ill ) the stream , a sand bar , and they were unable to continue . The trip on the barge started from the oil camp No . LY which is about twenty miles downstream . And it consumed the entire day . ( R . 2831 . ) |
