Show 5163 F. Bennett- D 3175 Q Of 1898? A 1898. Q During the time you were in there were you and your employers and associates re- supplied? A Oh, yes. Q How were they brought in? A They were brought in to Hite with a wagon, and boated down the Colorado river. Q Did you have anything to do with taking the boats either down or up- stream? A Not during that year, no sir. Q What kind of boat did they have? A They had a flat bottom boat; I should say it was about twenty- two, perhaps twenty- four feet long, between four and five foot beam. Q After June and July of 1898, where did you go? A I went to the California bar first. Q And is that down or up stream? A It is down stream about eighteen miles from the Good Hope bar. Q What method of transportation did you adopt to get down to the Olympia bar? A Went down with the boat. Q Encounter any difficulty in going down stream, that you recall? A You mean this particular trip? |
