Show 3867 Gerdine- C 1888 Q Anywhere on the river? A No; they were to take them to the mouth of warm creek; that is about the only place you could get out of the river in that section of the river and go up Warm creek on to the plateau above. Q To do this work they were doing? A Yes. Q When you left there supplies there, you knew of no trail or road up or down the river on that side, and you have no such knowledge at this time? A That is true, yes sir. MR. FARNSWORTH: That is all. REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Gerdine, do you know who designed that boat? A It was designed by the lighthouse service; just who in that service designed that boat, the person, I don't know. But the design was sent to the Edison Company in Los Angeles, then they let out the contract for building that boat to a firm in Wilmington named Fellows & Company, I believe. Q On this trip where you got as far as Warm creek, was Mr. La Rue along with you? A The first trip, yes. |
