Show 647 pounds . The draft of the boat was nine or ten inclies . ( R , 2493-2494 . ) ( Gross-examination Grossexamination Cross-examination Crossexamination ) ( R . , Vol . 13 , pp . . 2495- 2499 ) : In ( speaking speakiiig ) of proceeding at easy stages , he means it - was necessary to make frequent stops to examine the dam sites and the party was not trying to make time . He does ( not iiot ) recall both boats being stuck at the same time , since they did not ( always alNvays ) travel together , the motor oii the boat in which he was riding being unruly and it was ( three-quarters threequarters ) to half an hour later getting started in the morning than the other boat . The boats traveled in sight of each other about half of the time , the other half of the time possibly within half a mile of each other , but he observed no instances where both parties were stuck at the same time . ( R . 2495 . ) He did not see any ( so-called socalled ) sand waves . He would say that the boats were stuck so that it was necessary for the boatmen to get out of the boat and shove it into deeper ( water vater ) twice in half a day each day , the occurrence depending more upon distance than upon time . ( R . 2496 . ) If they traveled continuously for half a day , would say man stepped into water twice would be a fairly correct estimate of it . ( R . . 2496 ) Tom Wimmer was the skipper of the front boat and ( Andy A-udy Audy ) Wimmer was skipper of the boat in which he [ Thomas ] was riding . |
