Show 4665 Kirkpatrick- D 2679 believe we used that out- board motor just down from Moab in out meander line work right along the river. Q I was referring now, Mr. Kirkpatrick, to the trip which you made with Mr. Swanholm. A That is when we went from No. 1 well down to No. 2. Q Did you use the out- board motor on that trip? A Just to get down to the No. 2 well, not in connection with any of the work along the river. Q In the trip down there did you encounter any sandbars, mud or whirlpools? A No, not that I recall. Q Do you recall whether or not you hit any rocks? A I don't think we did on that trip, no. Q Bog pardon? A Not on that trip. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Was river high or low then? A It was low. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Was it lower than it was when you were there in May? A Much lower, yes. Q Do you remember one occasion when you were on the Colorado river when you were in a small boat which was stuck in the mud? A I believe when we were meandering below Moab we were stuck a good many times. |
