Show 6935 Chaffin- D 4923 Mr. Bennett, Bill Hyer, Charlie Herrick and myself took it to Dandy crossing, got a load of supplies and came back as far as Good Hope, and Mr. Bennett and I built a raft and brought the raft on down to the Olympia as I remember. Q How much of load of supplies did you get? A oh, around about two tons. Q Did you any difficulty going up or down stream on that trip? A At time only hard work; we sailed part of the way going up, good deal of the way we sailed going up; part of the way we rowed and towed; when we had wind the right direction we would sail; when we didn't, we would have to row or two. Q Do you know the rapids called the Bull Frog rapids? A Yes sir. Q Did you ever try to sail up those with the Lucy B.? A Made a trip down to below Halls Crossing at the Little Anderson bar where Struass operated and got a load of pipe he had there and came back that day and sailed up a good deal of the way, sailed practically up Bull Frog rapid, bot about the top and the wind lulled and we had to help it a little ways; sailed the most of the way from there on to the Olympia. |
