Q This winter you say you were frozen in for a month on the Green, how thick was the ice? A Well, the ice, I would say it was about an inch and a half or two inches thick. Q Thick enough so you could put your boat on and slide it over? A I was afraid to tackle it, anyway; the river wasn't froze -- there would be a strip maybe a mile or two long froze over solid, then a strip of open water for a quarter of a mile; it wasn't safe to go upon it, the shape it was in, so I didn't go upon it. Q At any rate, you stayed there for a month, until it was safe? A Yes sir. Q Aside from that obstruction and difficulty, did you encounter any others? |
