Show 4265 Rust- RC 2286 THE SPECIAL MASTER: Let's get this clear, Mr. Farnsworth; my questions were directed to the channel crossing this strata of rock or reef. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is what I am referring to. MR. BLACKMAR: Didn't he say it was only a foot there? MR. FARNSWORTH: No, he said it was not less than a foot at any place. BY MR. FARSWORTH: Q There are parts of this channel that you refer to where the water would be two or three feet deep at any stage of water that you have seen it, are there not, Mr. Rust? A Yes sir. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Rust, did you ever take any soundings there to ascertain how deep it was? A We justed that by the way our cars performed. When the water is too shallow we can easily find it by the way the cars hit. Q I understood the channel that you crossed was right near this island, that there was a channel in there? |
