Show 4197 McDonald- C 2217 up there on a good piece of rough water? A I guess so. I only done it for the fun of it, because they were so scared of the water. Q You towed your boat up to the head of the rapid water that you got into? A Yes, we towed it up most of the way; there was a little stretch between the mouth of the Dirty Devil and camp, about half a mile,-- Q Where you rowed it? A We poled that along, yes, and then it was swift, there was a rapid there, and a bar out in the river, and the water split around it, where we put in sluice boxes several times. Q You took it up to one of the rapids at the end of Cataract canyon and you shot that rapid along with that boat? A I shot two or three of them there close by, small ones. Q Then you all rode down in your boat, did you, after you got through shooting rapids? A No, couldn't all ride down, when we come to a bar along there, where them sandbars was, too many in; but we could between them. We would cross them over the river and they could prospect the bars and pan it on the other side. |
