We questioned some Of them

they seem TO care when We told
them. II wasn't that the Missouri
WAS trescherous they hadn't gone

think Il particularly interesting.
To them the Missouri was

MAXI Good Mileage
That little motor took US along
steadily for the three hours left
OF that afternoon and logged for
us close TO IS miles. At that II
was run only three-quarters open.
Never In the world could both of
M have padded through the slow
current Of the Mississippi that fast.
and with Bob padding alone we
would have been lucky to log half
that distance. II used q fraction
less than = quart Of gasoline for
the distance. In other words, that
little motor viii give US from 90
to 60 miles on q gallon Of gas. be-
lieve 1t or not, It's hard for US to.
We pulled In for the night on a

above the ground. and q few Of
