No, I don't think I did. I mean by that, there is no part of the river that a man, if he can boat it at all, and will use the proper precaution, that he will not run into the difficulties that exist there if he doesn't watch out what he is doing. " Q. There is no part of the river where, if he is careful, and knows his business, where he will not be able surmount the difficulty? " A. Oh, yes, there is plenty of it." R. 1107.
