State of the water in the river page 22 + 23 Mr Carys timber came down first during my abscence from the Aroostook when I arrived part had passed the boom part was rafted above and all that remained in the boom was passed as soon as possible so far as I know. Mr Cary was there himself and I do not recollect that he made any complaint at the time or found any fault whatever I do recollect that in one instance he was at the boom and reproved the men for passing through too fast that is faster than it could be taken care of by the men below. The water was falling rapidly and if it had not been an unusual year Mr Carys timber would not have left the Small Stream from which it was driven
