Here they pulled her out and, partially unloading, repaired her temporarily as well as they could.

This done they towed up to a point of vantage and made a fresh start and cleared the rapid with no further incident.

Meanwhile the _Canonita_ had come in to where we were lying, and both boats were held ready to rescue the men of the other.

After about three-quarters of an hour the unfortunate came down, her crew being rather elated over the experience and the distinction of having the first capsize.
Setting out on the current again we passed two beautiful creeks entering from the right, and they were immediately named respectively, Compass and Kettle creeks, to commemorate the loss of these articles in the capsize.

At the mouth of Kettle Creek, about a mile and a half below the capsize rapid, we stopped for dinner.
