Show 7131 Coote- D 5112 Q Did you any time have any boat built for the pur-pose of making a Colorado trip? A Yes, in October of 1907 we went to Moab, had a boat built at Moab. Q How large was that boat? A Oh, I think it was about fourteen feet long and about four feet or four and a half beam, just a sampan, perfectly flay bottom. Q Light craft, I assume? A Yes sir. Q Was the boat designed top have power installed? A Yes sir; we were going to use twin motors. Q Did you in fact install power in it? A No. Q Did you use the boat on the Colorado river? A Yes sir, I operated it on the Colorado river. Q At what point? A From Moab I went North. I think it was a little above Jenson, if I remember right, and then I went right south and into that canyon south of town. Q But if you went up above Jenson up stream, did you? A Yes sir. |
