Show 329 " A. Yes Sir. ( Reads:) ' Tuesday, October 4th. I took the Static; LaRue in the Edison;' -- that is the name of another boat, and one boat was called Static, the small boat. ' Met at Hall's Crossing by Tom Simmer, at 11: 15' - no - ' above Hall's Crossing' - ' in the motor boat.[ R. 845] " Wimmer freighted some supplies in for the engineers at Hall's Crossing, and he had a motor which he had put in the boat, and he came up the river and met us a short distance above Hall's Crossing, and he took LaRue on board because they had worked together, and they went up the river to look at a certain rapid that they had talked about before; I don't remember what rapid it was; they just went up to look at it while we went down and took on a load of supplies, That is what I have in my notes. " Q. Where did you get that load of supplies? " A. Mr. Wimmer freighted it in by wagon, ever these rough roads to Hall's Crossing, that is at the south or Hall Creek, I judge, or very close to it. " Q. Did you take some of these supplies up the river? " A. We unloads Mr. Chenoewith's surplus and loaded up with fifteen hundred pounds of supplies for Trimble, another engineer connected with the survey farther down, - connected with the San Juan survey. |
