A The camp was partly buried, you might say, the water had come in and melted the walls down; they are made out of mud and rock, and it melted the walls down; just partly wrecked; I re- built it. Q You mean you rebuilt the buildings? A Yes, the walls, and tool house was pretty well covered up with sand and mud, the walls in the house were pretty well buried in the debris. Q How much sand did you find in the tool house, how many inches or feet? A Must have been about feet,-- about three feet. Q Did you see the big flood of 1911? A I did not. Q Just tell what condition you found when you returned to your camp. A My camp was completely buried, just the top of the roof was protruding out, completely buried with sand except a little piece of the roof protruding out of the sand. Q In feet, how much would that be? A I should judge about nine feet. Q Could you tell me approximately how high your roof was above the water at low water? |
