Show 5828 3828 276 indicating between those times, August 15 and September 10, a fill of two feet at that point. Other points were similar. Q Does that indicate the width of the river at that point ( indicating)? A Very nearly. This 30- foot point ( indicating) was usually about five feet from the edge of the right bank of the river, and this 190- foot point ( indicating) was about 10 to 15 feet from the edge of the river. Q And what would that make the width of the river there? A The average width of the river, I should say, is 165 to 170 feet at the time most of those soundings were made. Q Well, is that a narrow canyon at that particular point ( indicating)? A there is a narrower point considerably above the cable. It starts out in a sort of fan shape, and the water at this point ( indicating on chart) is more or less uniform in its flow; it seems to be; there are no rapids or anything |
