Show 4009 Kane- C 2029 A Yes. Q Now, you stated also, as I recall -- just want to have this definite in the record -- that in taking the boats down, the empty boats down, you did find breaks in these reefs? A Yes. Q Was there more than one reef? A There were a good many paralled reefs. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q At the same spot? A Yes. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q You did find breaks in these reefs where there was plenty of water to take the boat down? A Not plenty; we had to pull on them, or shovel; we did some shoveling in the gravel and sand between those reefs and through some of them. Q Didn't you state in answer to his Honor's questions that there were channels, deeper channels ten or fifteen feet wide, breaks in these reefs where you did take your boats through? A Yes, there were those breaks many places through that reef. Q And when you spoke of breaks in those reefs you meant places where the reefs are broken and there is a water channel, that there is deeper water at those places, isn't that true? |
