Show 4460 Marrs- C 2480 Q You recall mentioning in answer to one question the figure -- I think you said once or twice -- anyway, I know you said twice a day, maybe twice a day you would get stuck. Do you remember that? A Depending on the section of the river we were in. Making two miles per hour, in eight hours only fifteen or sixteen miles; we only progressed about ten or twelve miles a day; next day would find us in different territory; in the Warm creek area we never made it in less than a day and a half; never made an up- trip in less than a day and a half. Q So you think even after you got your first paddle wheel put on you would get stuck once or twice a day? A Yes, in some sections of the river, and sometimes more; perhaps not at all. Q Sometimes not at all? A Not at all. Q If you got a larger paddle wheel with improved results as you have indicated, in the operation that you get with a larger paddle wheel, you have no knowledge from actual experience as to when, if at all, or how many times, if at all, you would have been stuck on the trip up to Warm creek? A I have no way of estimating that. Q You have no knowledge of it from actual experience? A Never was up there; up there as far as the dam site |
