Show 7469 Tasker- D 5448 exactly; he knows he crossed it. THE SPECIAL MASTER: We will say down for some distance below the mouth of the San Juan river. THE WITNESS: It is right in there close to the Crossing of the Fathers, isn't it? MR. BLACKMAR: Suppose you take it on to Lees Ferry. MR. FARNSWORTH: I don't care anything about the section in Arizona; of course it was one trip. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Let's take to the crossing of the Fathers; that is sufficient. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Were other boats in that party in use by members of the survey party also stuck on sandbars frequently? A Yes. Q At what places in the stream did your boat ever get stuck on sandbars or hit sandbars, so far as you recall? A Well, if the chief would tell you to go and give him a shot from a certain point, and you started to go over there, possibly wouldn't be enough water, and you would get stuck on a sandbar, just get out and pull the boat as far as you could, and leave it there and give him the shot; then he would come down -- he worked one side of the river -- come down to you and he would send the other man, possibly, to the other side |
