" Q A half or three- quarters of a mile. Did you have the bounds lined during that half or three- quarters of a mile-clear down the entire distance that you saw fit to carry your supplies? " A Yes, we lined our boats down to the lower and of the rapids." R. 79. The second rapids was one of the worst encountered, the rapids being indicated on the map as being a mile or more in length, and it was necessary at that point to carry their equipment along the shore, for what in his judgment was practically a mile. " Q Then the third time, over what aggregate distance did you line your boats? " A The next bad point was -- there were two rapids together, so that we had to line our boats the entire distance of the two rapids, which was approximately a mile - no, not as long as the other one; probably three- quarters of a mile. " Q Three- quarters of a mile. Then the fourth occasion when it was necessary to line your boats, what was the aggregate distance of the line? " A The distance there was not over a quarter of a mile. " Q Then the other occasion, what was the aggregate distance? " A As I remember, now, there were four times only, and not a fifth time." R. 80. |
