Show Record and about the same weight. We made the second trip in the fall. The water appeared to be about the same then as when we made the 748 trip in the row boat. We did not go around to the slide. We had all the coal we could haul on the boat. I don't know how much. I don't know whether there was any coal left when we got back on 749 our second trip. I know we burned wood before we got back. We figured on using driftwood as fuel if we had to. When we got back we tied the boat to the bank.

It is hard for me to tell whether the channel was in the same place on my second trip as it was on my first trip, because I could not keep in mind the particular turns of the river, there 752 being so many of them.

I was afterwards financially interested in it. I do not know how much the boat cost and I do not know much the remodeling cost. I made a report to the owners of the boat after my second 757 trip that the river could not be navigated with that boat. The boat was built and launched on the basis of my reports after I made my trip in the row boat. Draft of the boat was about the same on each trip. There was nothing in the condition of the boat that made it more difficult to go down the river on the second trip than on the first. From the second trip until she was shipped, she lay at Green-river. - 112- 1228 |
