Show Raplee- D 468 A Yes, it is. Q Take August, then. Tell me how a trip down there in August is different from one in June. SPECIAL MASTER: If it is. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q If it is. A The water is low then, and you are running on to the rocks all the time, got to pry it off the rocks, and have considerable trouble. Q What about the sand in low water? A Well, the sand is worse then, on account of being very little water on top of the sand, you know. Q How many hours would it take to make that trip in low water? A Well, it would take about fifteen hours, I should judge. Q To make 25 miles? A Yes, to make 35 miles. SPECIAL MASTER: Ask him what the current is. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q In the month of June about how rapid is the current in that stretch, if you know? A I can't say. SPECIAL MASTER: you have other witness who can testify to that. Never mind, Mr. Witness. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Do you bring in most of your supplies by boat or by pack? A By wagon to Bluff, then I took it from there down with a boat mostly. Q Those were supplies, of course, for your own camp? 2434 |
