Show Galloway- RD 1121 stop; in the still part of the water above the rapid there is always a still space of water; stop and go down and look the rapid over, see if there is a possible channel or way a man can navigate a boat through it without hitting a rock or striking waves so high that there is danger of putting you underneath, filling your boat with water, or something like that. You know about what your load is; you know about what your boat is carrying, and about what kind of waves you can battle with. If there is any possible way you can see that it looks like it is safe enough for a man that is in there alone, or two parties,-- that I can get through without losing my outfit, you would naturally get in your boat and go and pick down through where you had sized it up and looked it over and thought you could make it, as near as you could possibly. Q Then in running rapids, every rapid you run, you run the rapid only after a personal examination? A Yes sir. Q Made on the spot at the time? A Yes sir. MR. BLACKMAR: That is all. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. 3093 |
