Description At Dark Canyon Rapids, Cataract Canyon, Ellsworth ran onto the rocks. The boat turned on its side, filling the cockpit with water. Under the front hatch is the summer's work of the engineers. We got a rope to Ellsworth who attached it to the stern. Then we floated poles to him. Ellsworth prying and eight men pulling all day didn't budge the boat. We pulled Ellsworth to shore just before dark. In the evening Emery made a crude pulley of a cottonwood log and had figured how maps and boat could be saved. See No.4 picture. Courtesy: Emery Kolb.
