Show 3997 Kane- D 2017 These rapids, this shallow water, the reefs were along in that country. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER; Q Will you describe what you call reefs there? A Rock formation setting up, either straight up or with a slope to it; it wasn't level. Q You mean stretching entirely across the river? A Yes. Q Or do you mean breaks in it? A There were breaks, because we finally got out boats through. Q How wide breaks? A Few feet, or ten or fifteen feet in places; the rocks had worn off or been knocked off with floods by other rocks rolling on the bottom; this is a sand rock, and not very hard, wear down, probably, in time; only very few places on the Green rive on Glen canyon where there are any of those reefs. The formation lies generally flat, a little pitch to the northeast, of sand rock and shall, sedimentary formation. I am not a geologist, but I have done a lot of traveling, and I learned a little something about these things. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Kane, do you recall the date you arrived at Less Ferry? A I am not sure, but it runs in my mind it was the 28th |
