Show Kolb- D 816 pounds. Q According to your best judgment, gained from your experience in going down, what weight of supplies could you have successfully carried on that trip? A In those boats we were carrying all that we could, for the size of the boats. Q That is, six hundred pounds was the capacity? A Yes sir, that was about the limit. When we want on the survey, we had bigger boats of the same type. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I am asking about these. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Did you get any supplies between Greenriver, Utah, and Lee's Ferry? A No, sir. Q On these trips through the rapid water and the rapids and the canyons you always load your boat as lightly as possible? A Yes, we did. Q Now, on this second trip, what equipment did you have by way of boats? A We had two boats, built on the same lines as these that we had used on our previous trip, except that they were eighteen feet in length and six inches wider. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q That would be how wide? A Four and a half feet beam in the center. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Do you know where those boats were built? ( see page 819, a/ c error in numbering pages) 2786 |
