Show Anderson- D 746 those bottoms? A Valentine. Q You went down to your objective, and then turned around and came back with the incidental difficulties you have mentioned, is that correct? A Yes. MR. BLACKMAR: I object to that. He has not said that Valentine bottom was his objective. He said that is as far as they went. MR. FARNSWORTH: I think he has said it. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I think he said he went down to Valentine bottom, turned around. Didn't say anything about his objective. MR. FARNSWORTH: If it is worth while doing it I would turn back three or four questions, I think he did. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Ask him. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Was that your objective, Valentine bottoms? A No, wasn't no particular - that is where we turned around and went back. Q You didn't turn around and come back because of increased difficulties of navigation, did you? A that was one thing. Q Was it any worse down there than it was further up he canyon? A We had to get back - though we better go back; we was out of coal, we had to get back. 2714 |
