This, I believe, was the place where we were capsized.
Thompson at that time, before we ran it, declared it looked to him like the worst rapid we had encountered but at the stage of water then prevailing we could not get near it.

Stanton wisely made a portage, of the supplies and let the boats down by lines.

His boat, the Bonnie Jean, played all sorts of pranks, rushing out into the current, ducking and diving under water, and finally floating down sideways.

Then they thought they would try what Stanton calls Powell's plan of shooting a boat through and catching it below.

Such a harum-scarum method was never used on our expedition, and I never heard Powell suggest that it was on the first.
