September, 1896, they started again from Henry's Fork, Wyoming, and went to the Needles reaching there February 10, 1897.

Since that time Galloway has made several successful descents.

In August, 1896, George F.Flavell and a companion left Green River, Wyoming, and successfully descended to Yuma in flat-bottomed boats, reaching there December, 1896.
In 1907, three miners, Charles Russell, E.R.Monett, and Albert Loper, with three steel boats each sixteen feet long, left Green River, Utah, September 20th, to make the descent.

Loper and one damaged boat were left at Hite near the mouth of Fremont river, while Russell and Monett proceeded.

In the beginning of the Grand Canyon they lost a boat, but with the remaining one after various disasters, they finally made their exit from the Grand Canyon, January 31, 1908.
