Show 5584 34 3591 Q What kind of boats? A They were small rowboats, excepting the ferry at Greenriver. They had a cable ferry there that they operated at certain stages of it. Q At what stages of it did they operate? A Well, when the river was deep enough to go across and not too high to be dangerous. They did not take it across at extremely high water, on account of the danger of snapping the cable and turning the boat water? Q Well, what about at low water? A At low water was principally a ford on horse-back. Mr. Blackmar. That is all, Mr. Hite. RECROSS EXAMINATION By Mr. Farnsworth: Q How far is it from Cisco to Moab?
