.PER|LS Of BLACK CANYON
DESCRIBED BY LECTURER
Ellsworth Kolb Tells of His Exploits
on Gunnison River in
in Colorado.

Describing his experiences in explor-
ing the Black Canyon of the Gunnison
river in Colorado in canoe last sum-
mer and rlustrat ting his talk with col
ored slides and motion pictures OF ms
exploits, Ellsworth Kolb lectured be-
fore the members of the National Geo
graphic Society yesterday.
Late last July Mr.. Kolb and com
panions completed their preparations
for the trip, and with the help OF the
experience gained several years ago
when the Kolb brothers explored 1,4oo
and the Green rivers they successfully
negotiated the forty-five miles or the
Black Canyon where man has never De-
fore ventured.
Falls and rapids with miniature
Niagara whirlpools beset every foot
of the way, for in these few miles the
Gunnison drops 1000 feet.
Starting with a canvas boat, this was
soon found unsuited for the work, lot
Mr. Kolbs boat was overturned in the
first big rapids, the wooden frame
ripped out of the canvas and the wreck
wrapped itself around a rock IN 1nid,
stream and stayed there. Equipped
with a foot ball helmet to protect his
head and a buoyant padded jacket to
keep him afloat, the explorer escaped
and even rescued a part OF his invalu-
able supplies.
After some delay the journey again
freight canoes decked fore and aft to
ship a minimum of water.
TO illustrate the difficulties of travel
Mr. Kolb said that although in some
places they proceeded at a mile-a-mln-
ute clip. one section of seven miles
took eleven days to cover. The men
were drenched from morning until
night and several times the boat was
broken and had to be repaired. To add
to the troubles the temperature
dropped, snow fell and provisions be-
came scarce.
In one spill" Mr.. Kolb severely
injured leg and his companion
wrenched his back and broke rib.
After this they climbed the sheer wall
Of the canyon 1000 feet, found a ranch
and were hauled to town.
With another assistant. two weeks
later. the trip was continued. This
time they went less than half mile in
six days. Heavy SHOWS fell. the gran
lite boulders were covered with ice and
they had difficulty in lifting the boat
over the rocks. Later the boat was
wrecked almost within sight of the
goal, leaving a short distance to be
completed next year. when it will
again be attempted in a canvas boat.
