Both boats got through with only slight raps and we went on a short distance to camp at the head of a bad descent which was not runable at this stage of water.

In the morning a line-portage was easily accomplished and we ran down a short distance farther when we stopped for dinner on a sandy beach.

The sand scorched my feet for I had been without shoes for several days.

All our shoes were giving out and mine were the first to go completely.

Fortunately Beaman had an extra pair of army brogans which he lent me till we should reach Uinta.
