Show 5558 Hite- D 3566 8 A No, I did not go on that trip. Q Did you see them start? A Yes sir. Q About what stage was the water at that time? A Well, we had delayed going, waiting for the water to rise, so as to get sufficient depth to float the boat over the rapids. It was a rising stage of water. Q Prior to that time, had you been down in the vicinity of Good Hope and Tickaboo? A Yes, sir. Q And what means did you use to get down? A Small flat bottomed rowboat. Q Between Hite -- well, how far down had you been at that time? A At that time? Q Yes. A Not below Good Hope. Q Between Hite and Good Hope, what rapids were there in the river, as you saw them? A The number of rapids? Q Yes, and their locations. A Well, I am afraid I cannot recall all of them. |
