Show 3776 Stone- C 1797 or so; I do not now remember all about that. Q Would boats go up and down where those men were? A Sometimes the young men would tow a boat up as far as Hite and bring down some supplies in it. Q And how far up was Hite? A Again, that I can not tell. I guess you can find it from the map. Q About how long did this company that you name operate there, if you know, from the beginning to the end? A I think it went into bankruptcy the following year; I think so. Q I wasn't inquiring about the financial status of the company; I was asking about its operations. A Its operations ended naturally at that time. Q And they began when? What was the period of their operation? Was it a year, two years, six months, or what? A It was probably two years. Q Two years? A Probably so; I can not answer that definitely. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q When you came down the river in 1909 did the boats come down one after the other? A Yes sir. Q Mr. Galloway in the first boat, I believe? A Usually he was in the first boat. |
