Show 298 THE SPECIAL MASTER: Any what ? MR. BLACKMAR: Power boats. " A. I think it was just reported to us that somebody at Jensen had a power boat. " Q. Did you see it ? " A. We didn't see it." R. 785- 786 BY THE SPECTAL MASTER: " Q. Was this dam site for irrigation purposes? " A. Yes sir, it had just been installed, they had just finished it, I believe. We made the run from Greenriver, Utah, to Wolverton's ranch in one day." R. 786. He believes Wolverton's ranch is about twenty four miles below Greenriver and the water in that section is swifter than at Greenriver and there are numerous rocks. R. 786. Some of them project above the surface of the water, and most of them directly underneath. You could drag the oars and touch the rocks. It was about five weeks from the time they started until they left Greenriver, Utah. R. 787. " Q. Did you run on any of these riffles or bars between Greenriver, Utah, and the mouth of the San Rafael? " A. One or two instances the boat would get on a rock and the bow would stick and then swing clear; it would swing around; and when we would run rapids -- shall I explain this -- when we run rapids we reverse our boat and go into it stern first; we face downstream; we have a square look at the danger that is ahead; if it is rocky rapid, you are looking directly at the rocks. |
