Show 7143 Empey- D 5124 A I didn't go with them, no sir. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Did you go up and see where the Undine was wrecked? A I saw where the wreck had stopped, lodged. Q Where was it with respect to this riffle you had had that experience on the day before, that is, that you had the experience on that you have detailed? Was it above or below that riffle? A It was way below. Q You don't know how far it had floated down stream after it capsized? A No. Q And what was the effect of this method that was em-ployed on the day you took the trip up stream with the Undine, that is, the method of using the capstan engine and the line at the same time, keeping the power going on the boat? A They kept the power on the main boat, you know, and the power was going on the capstan engine at the same time. Q Did that method have any tendency to expose the sides of the Undine to the swift water coming down? A Yes, the boat was carried into the water on slack rope. MR. FARNSWORTH: You can object to this if you want to, Mr. Blackmar; I concede it is not a proper question. |
