The Romance of the Colorado River

CHAPTER X
36/43

Then we landed on a rocky point at the head of the first bad plunge, the beginning of Disaster Falls, where the No-Name was wrecked two years before.

At this place we camped for the night.

The descent altogether here is about fifty feet.

In the morning all the cargoes were taken over the rocks to the foot of the first fall, and the boats were cautiously worked down along the edge to where the cargoes were, where they were reloaded and lowered to the head of the next descent, several hundred yards.

Here the cargoes were again taken out and carried over the rocks down to a quiet bay.
