Show 5227 F. Bennett- C 3239 work it over. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q So through that space you would say it it was about two feet deep at that time? A Yes, I would say it was about two feet deep. Q With the exception of these narrow channels, then, it would go down the full length of the oar, maybe? A Yes; I found very little difference where I went, except we kept working the boat further down, shoving it along on its keel. Q I think you stated that was at very low water? A Yes, very low water. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Bennett, what months while you were on the Colorado river during the year did you usually get the floods, outside of the spring rise? A Generally along in the latter part of July or August, when we have these regular cloudbursts in the mountains; most of them would be local, and come from the San Rafael, three or four of them. When they would have these bad storms they would come down. Generally tell by the color of the water where they came from. |
