Show 961 Recross Examination. ( R. Vol. 12, pp. 2285- 2286) At other places in the little narrow channel to the right of the island the water is more than a foot deep at any stage of the water, some places being at least two or three feet deep. R. 2286. Redirect Examination. ( R. Vol. 12, pp. 2286- 2291) He did not take soundings at this rock crossing but judged the depth of water from the way the cars performed; " When the water is too shallow we can easily find it by the way the cars hit." The channel referred to, just before the rapid is reached, cuts right under the wall of the canyon along the right side of the slim island about a half mile long, and by running this channel he usually goes down without difficulty. That is the place where the water is a foot deep. The place where the water is three feet deep is in the middle of the channel. The channel is about half a mile long, and avoids the ledge rapids entirely, and is deep enough to carry his boats. R. 2287. The ledge does not extend across the channel. He can not definitely locate the rock crossing in the channel from photograph 219, Complainant's Exhibit No. 11 D. R. 2288. " As far as I am able to judge this map, [ Complainant's Exhibit No. 10] here is the channel to which I refer. Right here ( indicating), is the rapid known as the ledge rapid. " BY MR. BLACKMAR: " Q That is between Mile 110 and 111? " MR. FARNSWORTH: The rapid he indicates is on the inside of the bend. " THE WITNESS: We run this channel to avoid the ledge rapid. |
