Q The months of the year when water is not at what is called high water, that is in the spring, May and June, the other months are safer months for making this trip, are they? A Yes sir, much safer. Q From your experience, gained on these trips, are you able to give any idea as to how many months of the year such a trip are you made could be, probably, made? MR. FARNSWORTH: I think, your Honor, the witness, from the two trips he has had on this river, is not competent to testify to that. THE SPECIAL MASTER: If anybody sakes an objection , I will withdraw the question. MR. FARNSWORTH: With this witness I do not like-- THE SPECIAL MASTER: I withdraw the question. MR. BLACKMAR: T hat is all, Mr. Kolb. He can be excused from the hearing? MR, FARNSWORTH: Yes. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Thank you for a very interesting morning, Mr. Kolb. MR. KOLB: Thank you, your Honor. MR.
