Show Kolb- D 875 A Yes, in almost every case, if they impress us as being a dangerous rapid, we tis the boat at the head of the rapid. Q That is, even though you have been over it before? A Yes sir. Q And why is that? A Well, we want to get through alive, to save our boat. Q Changes from time to time? MR. FARNSWORTH: We object to this, leading and suggestive. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I think that is a little suggestive, Mr. Blackmar. The witness has answered the question. MR. BLACKMAR: All right, Mr. Farnsworth. Go right ahead; I am all through. MR. FARNSWORTH: No cross examination. FURTHER EXAMINATION BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Just one question. Did you select this month in which you took the 1911 and 1921 trip for any particular reason? Is that the month when, from your experience, it is easiest to come down? A When we arranged our first trip we would like to have started a little earlier; our impression was that the extreme low water stage was the safest time to make a trip. 2845 |
