Show 4280 Daily- D 2301 MR. BLACKMAR: I don't think he does. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Suppose you ask him as to the river down -- BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Do you know where the junction of the two rivers was? A Yes sir. Q Describe your trip from below the junction. A The first part below the junction is very shallow water; we hit on sandbars; and below that the sand seems to give way to small pebbles, that is, the stream is low, and you grate along on sort of riffles in the stream; it is not sand, but the surface is very close to the water, and we grated along there. Down further, we came into small -- couldn't exactly be called rapids, but between a rapid and a riffle; the rocks are protruding all along the surface of the stream; we had quite a bit of difficulty getting through there. It was necessary to stop our boats and get out and pick a course in order to get through at all. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Do you recall the big cataracts of the Colorado river through which you passed? MR. FARNSWORTH: We object to that, your honor, as leading and suggestive. If this witness hasn't a recollection of this trip himself I don't think his testimony would be of any |
