The channel ( would -would would ) be large enough to pass without ( im- im ) peding the progress of the boat . When they did not find the channel they would be ( hung bung ) up . ( ( E R ) . 5267-5269 . ) He is not positive , but he does not think that they were ever hung up over two or three hours at any one place , and the periods of time would vary . As he remembers , it was about twice when they failed to reach Moab , ( when -when when ) they had left a point down the river with the intention of going clear through . The next morning they would just look around a little bit and go right through , either by floating or by finding the channel . ( R . 5270 . ) During that period of time they ( transported transpoTted ) horses , and ( Defendant's Defendants ) Exhibit No . 29 shows the big barge with horses on it . ( Defendant's Defendants ) Exhibit No . 30 shows one of the oil rigs . He believes it is No . 2 . A few times they had occasion to haul camp supplies for cattle outfits down the river , and the barge was used for carrying the outfits of ( cattle- cattle ) men from one side of the stream to the other . The main place they hauled grain was about half way between No . 1 and No . 2 . ( ( E R ) . 5270-5271 . ) There were occasions when they took trips down the river from Moab that the boat would be kept down for several days , when they would be hauling casing from No . 1 to No . 2 , and they would haul ( cot- cot ) |
