Show 3796 Woodbury- D 1817 A We hit them off and on all the way down the Green. Q To what extent were the boats held fast, if they were held fast? A Below Double Bowknot several of the boys had to get overboard to dislodge the boats. Just below Greenriver, somewhere around fourteen miles, I would say, a couple of the boys had to get over and lift the boat off the sandbar to get it loose again. Q Do you recall whether or not there were other times in that section of the river where it was necessary for them to go overboard and push off? MR. FARNSWORTH: I submit the witness in response to the question as to the occasions has named two. A I think there are other times. Those are the only two specific instances that I can recall. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Between Greenriver, Utah, and the mouth of the Green river did you encounter any other boats? A No sir. Q Did you see any people? A None whatever -- well, we saw one man about eighteen or twenty miles on the left bank of the Green at a little cabin down there, a rancher, that is the only man we saw, the first day out when we camped for lunch at noon. |
