Show Kolb- D 829 big, violent water, lots of rock, and I would run one boat through a rapid, tie the others up at the head of the rapid, get down into quiet water below the whirlpools, where I could make a landing , and would walk back along the shore and run a second boat through. My brother frequently would be on the shore making motion pictures of the action of the boats in the water, and in most cases I would run a third boat through in the same way. My brother, if he wasn't busy making a picture, would run his boat through. His was the same boat he used on the first trip, repaired, and on twelve occasions he helped me with one of my boats, usually this light boat I speak of. Q Did you adopt the Galloway method of coming through those rapids, that is, stern foremost? A Almost invariably, if the rapid had rocks in, we would use that method, because it gives a lot of satisfaction to see the danger that is directly ahead; you are not looking over your shoulder and just getting a half idea of what it is; you can see it; if you are strong enough, you can turn the boat part way and pull it into a new channel and avoid the rocks. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q I understand your brother's boat was a fourth boat, in addition to the three? A Yes; he wasn't included. 2799 |
