Show 5244 Newby- D 3256 riffle at that time was so we made it all right without grounding there. And we made Greenriver without any further trouble. Q Did you make any subsequent trips on the Dispatch? A Yes sir. Q From Greenriver to where? A We made one from Greenriver to Little valley, about five miles below Greenriver bridge. Q Generally speaking, the second trip that you made on the Dispatch, was there any difference between that and the first trip, with reference to sandbars? A No sir, the last trip got the worst of it, I think, if any. Q But the same situation, sandbars and shoals? A Almost the same, yes. Q What has become of that Dispatch boat? A It broke loose one night in high water, and it wrapped itself around one of the piers at the bridge and was destroyed. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Was that the gasoline propelled boat? A That was the gasoline propelled boat. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q The Wilmont was a side- wheeler? A Yes, gasoline propelled, also. |
