Show 4745 Moore- C 2759 Q Or deeper? A Yes sir. Q In making this crossing at Nokai that you speak of' you endeavored to select places where your crossing would be easiest, did you not? A To avoid the quicksand. Q You endeavored to avoid the deeper water, too, didn't you? A Not necessarily the deeper water, to avoid the quicksand or boggy places. Q Well. You picked your way? A Yes sir. Q And naturally you picked a way that appeared to be the easiest way of getting over? A Yes sir. Q Where was the other place you say you waded it when it was at low water before the high water began, or was there another place? A I don't recall wading at any other place. Q Or fording it at any other place? A We forded at Plute. Q Aside from Plute and Nokai which you have already described, you recall no other places where you either forded it on horseback or foot? A No sir. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. |
