Yesterday’s answer:
c. Even though he capsized, he came out of the
river dry
In the
summer of 1876 he [Daniel H. Wells] was placed in charge of a company to visit
and encourage the newly started settlements in Arizona. While crossing the
Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry, the boat that contained his traveling wagon and
outfit and a number of the party was capsized and thrown into the rushing and
turbulent stream. He was only an indifferent swimmer, but thought weighed down
by his boots and clothing, he calmly struck out for shore, reaching it without
wetting his necktie. He always regarded his escape as miraculous, feeling as
though unseen hands were supporting him. Bishop Roundy, who was regarded as an
expert swimmer, was drowned; and the whole outfit was swept away and lost.
