Show 7375 Wolverton- D 5355 is a flood? A It only occurs right after a flood at some gulch. Q How frequently on the Green river does that condition occur? I mean, is it constant, or is it something that is rather unusual? A It is quite unusual excepting in July and August, when the heavy rains occur across the country out on the desert. Q Have you ever been capsized by any one of those waves? A Oh, no. Q Have you ever known of anybody up there being capsized? A No. Q How do you run them? Do you run them head- on, or do you run them broadside? A Run them head on. Q In this connection, in answer to you question, there has been more or less testimony here from different witnesses on both sides, I think, about the presence of driftwood in this river. Have you ever encountered trouble with driftwood? A The driftwood occurs usually thrown in by some flood; otherwise, no. Q Would the driftwood be rather a serious obstacle for paddle wheel boats? A It was for the side wheels, yes. Q I mean the side wheels. |
