Q Did you see any boats on the river? A None whatever. Q Mr. Stabler, generally, what are the instructions to these topographic engineers with reference to showing rapids on their topographic maps? A By conventional symbol -- their instructions are to use the contour crossings every five- foot crossing. But the conventional rapid symbol is quite immaterial, and the in-structions, as I recall them, are not to put such a symbol on in general. We depend upon the contour crossings and the construction of the profiles to show that. By The Special Master: Q Is there any conventional definition in the Depart-ment being given to the engineers as to what is or is not a rapid? A Not that I know of. Q Or a riffle? A Not that I know of. |
