Show 5073 F. Johnson- C 3085 record, the evidence having shown the pack train had already gone back and there was no way to get a horse. I further object to it as needless waste of time about some immaterial matter. THE SPECIAL MASTER: That is a way of putting back in the record something I have already stricken out. Now let's go on with this examination. MR. FARNSWORTH: Then the objection is sustained? THE SPECIAL MASTER: Yes. MR. FARNSWORTH: I note an exception. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q You say that on the first occasion that you saw the Charles H. Spencer, there were in addition to a few wagons some other machinery on the boat. What kind of machinery was that ? A I couldn't say. Possibly engines, some mining machinery. I couldn't say as to what it was. Q Rather bulky machinery, was it? A More heavy than bulky. Q More heavy than bulky, you say? A Yes sir. Q Can you give us any idea of the dimensions of the machinery? A No, I can not; only as I remember it now there was one small steam engine; I couldn't even make an estimate as to the horsepower; small engine. |
