A Nailed to the heavier keels, 2 by 6 keels, or I should say, bends, or rods, or whatever you wanted to call them. Q I see. What was the nature of the equipment that your thought with this 20- mile team? A A 10,000- pound steam boiler, and two pumps. I think the weight of each pump was 1000 pounds, but I would not be positive about that. Q Did you take all of it down at once? A Yes. Q You took it all down on this boat? A Yes, sir.

Q And how many men rowed the boat -- or, rather, how many were carried by th boat? |
