That is a difference of from four to five feet . Now , that would be included in your profile , unless you adjusted it . How do you adjust it ? I mean it was not apparently on a sudden flood , but it was a condition that was a very ( percep percep- percep ) tible raise in the next two weeks . ( "A A ) . Well , in the case of a raise like ( tbat-in tbatin ) the case of a gradual raise we had no ( means mecans ) ( of-if ofif ) we noted it , but I do not recall that we made any change for that ; as the profile shows a comparison as you work ( along-if alongif ) the river is at a certain elevation during the ( day's days ) work , the five or six miles of that profile along that ( day's days ) work , while consistent with each other , the change between that and the next day would be applied ; that would be consistent , and there may or may not be a slight inequality in the profile between the two days ( "Q Q ) . How far ordinarily would you go a day , working up from Lees Kerry ? ( "A A ) . Well , from two to ( four-I fourI ) do not not know that we made over four miles any day ; two to four miles . " The SPECIAL MASTER . Well , I think I understand the situation .
