Show 4839 Swanholm- C 2852 A Well, I can't say that; when I was camped at No. 1, also at No. 2, they would always advise, so our mail would come down. Q During that time you got your supplies by boat? A The majority of them, yes. Q Practically all of them? A Yes. Q Now, when you got down to Lockhart, if you had desired to get supplies by the river on boats of the Moab Garage Company, it would have been necessary for you to make special arrangements for a special trip of the boats down to Lockhart, is that true? A Well, no, because we did get one or two small consignments of supplies from No. 2 by taking off supplies from the big barge at No. 2 camp, and then taking them down to my camp at Lockhart with my little boat, about twelve miles. Q What I mean is, I am talking about the Moab Garage boats, had you employed them to bring the supplies down after your initial trip when you had them bring you and your supplies down, it would have been necessary for you to make special arrangements for them to make that special trip? A Yes, it would. Q Do you recall quickly, off- hand, the distance from Moab to Lockhart by the river? A We called it forty miles. |
