The only way one could be heard was to yell with full lung power.
Landing at the head of it easily we there unloaded the _Dean_ and let her down by line for some distance.

In the worst place she capsized but was not damaged.

Then the water, near the shore we were on, though turbulent in the extreme became so shallow on account of the great width of the rapid here that when we had again loaded the _Dean_ there were places where we were forced to walk alongside and lift her over rocks, but several men at the same time always had a strong hold on the shore end of the line.

In this way we got her down as far as was practicable by that method.

At this point the river changed.
