Show 3939 Edwards- RD 1959 Q This dredge you were operating below Greenriver, how far from the water bank was that? A It was right on the edge of the river, bed of the river channel, only on a high bar. Q At times would the water in the river come up to the dredge? A No, came up within few feet of it. Q What do you mean by a few feet? A As the river raised, the water -- as the channel filled up, it would come up fairly close, but we figured the dredge was high enough so the water would never reach it, unless abnormally high water. Q When you were operating the Major Powell, did you ever operate it at night? A No sir. Q I am not sure whether I asked you yesterday or not, but I want to be sure it is in the record. Can you give me the draft of the Major Powell? A I think about eighteen inches, loaded. Q I have here a set of photographs marked Exhibits 222 to 241, inclusive. As I understand, these are the photographs of the Best expedition? A Yes sir. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Are they marked on the photographs or on the envelope? |
