Show 5403 Yokey- D 3414 A That is down there to Tickaboo rapids, near Cass Hite's place. Q How did she get down there? A I sold it to Fletcher and Butler; they took it down by Hanksville and northwest and lost it at Hite. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Describe the boat. A That is about five by twenty- eight. Q What was the draft of this boat? A About the same as the other, ready to lead about eight inches, I judge. Q As I understand, these two boats were propeller boats? A Yes sir; this last boat was powered with a double cylinder, Northwester engine, ten horsepower. BY MR. BLACKMAN: Q Did you go down to that section of the Colorado river with this boat? A I did later, after they launched it. Q How much time did you spend down there? A About thirty days, working on a gold bar. Q Was this boat still therewhen you left? |
