Show 3901 Edwards- D 1922 A I did not. Q And why not? A Because I didn't think it possible to get it up there; too much rock and rough water. Q Did you make the boat fast there at Wheeler's ranch? A Yes, tied her up. Q Then what did you do with the boat? A I made the second trip down after the first; I made two round trips. Q The second trip that you made down, how long after the first trip? A About,-- I should judge about ten days. Q Did you make any changes in the boat? A No, no changes, practically the same condition both times. Q Will you describe your second trip down? A We had a little better condition, that is, for help, on the second, because we had four men instead of three. Q That was yourself and Mr. Howard -- A Mr. McClane and Mr. McDonald and Lute Johnson. Q Is the Mr. McDonald the same man who had been with you on the other river trips? A No, a different man; Mr. McDonald was a stationary engineer. Q Did you carry any fuel with you on that second trip of any kind? |
