motor boat and that it VIII soon be
handling all travel that way. Sam
Alger hauled the boat from Kingman
to the river and got there in good SHAPE,
but the work of launching was a task
that they had MT figured on. The
heavy current caused the guy ropes on
the boat to break, but all difficulties
were finally overcome. the placing of
