Show 4322 Loper- D 2342 engine; It was equipped with a Ford differential; made quite a boat; it was a square nose scow of a boat. Q Can you give me the size of it? A Just approximately; I imagine it is about twenty- five feet long; it may not be quite that long; about six feet wide. Q How much draft? A Well, it looked to me like the back of the boat -- the way it was loaded, the way it rode, would probably draw eighteen inches. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q How many people was it apparently capable of carrying? A The boat had on that trip up, it was either six or seven people on board; besides, I had my row boat, too. Q Was there any room for any more? A There was room, yes. Q How many should you say could have been comfortably carried? A Well, you couldn't carry many more. Q I asked if you could carry more. A Yes, you could carry more, say ten or twelve more. Q Ten or twelve more, or ten or twelve altogether? A Ten or twelve altogether. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Who was in charge of the boat? A Mr. Marrs. |
