Show Record about any log being kept until about five years after the trip. Of course we hit a few sand bars, but the man who sent me this log was a chef with a rather lively sense of humor who like to josh a great deal. I didn't count the sand bars and I don't think he kept a very accurate count of them. I can't identify the handwriting on Exhibit 473, but the exhibit was sent to me by Mr. Wise. 3408- 3410 That portion of the so- called log down to the word " Notes was received in evidence and it set forth at length on pages 3409- 3410 of the record and indicates that the Cliff Dweller left the town of Green River at 9 A.

It had a semi- tunnel, half in the boat and half outside, and was equipped with a water tube boiler and a twenty horsepower compound vertical marine engine. I built this boat one, two or three years after the Cliff Dweller was sold and taken to Salt Lake, and launched it in the 3412 spring of the year. A month or two later I made a trip with the Black Eagle down to a point within ten miles of Valentine's Bottom, where the water tube got full of mud and blew up. I think the boat is still down there. I came back upstream with Mr. Wolverton on the Wilmont. He and a man named Woodruff had been prospecting around below there.
