Q When you took it from the first stopping place, between Hole- in- the- Rock and the San Juan river? A Yes. Q Took it down below the San Juan and stopped there, was that still low water. A Still low water. Q You say you didn't want to start out with high water, but Nielson did? A I didn't want to go. A fellow named Frank Martin was with us, an Irishman; he didn't want to leave there; we argued for a long while. Nielson thought we could make it, so we started out. We made a failure. Q You went right on out after you got landed there, did you? A Yes. Q What became of Nielson? A What? Q I don't know what became of him; I never heard from him for thirty years. Q Did he go out with you? A Yes. |
