THE SPECIAL MASTER: Let's leave off the mileage. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Can you tell me where it is with reference to Mexican Hat, whether or not it is above or below Mexican Hat? A I believe it is below. Q What did you do, then, with reference to the operation of the boat? A I took the oars and took the boat downstream to certain point just at the Narrow, and I believe at that point at least one or two of the party entered the boat, and rode through the Narrows with me. That is my recollection. I took notes on it, but I haven't re- read them, and I have forgotten. Q Did you have any difficulty in the operation of the boat in that stretch? A No sir, not as much as I expected; just swift water and vigorous work, is all. Q Did you run on any sandbars? A No, sir. 2854 |
