Show 3412 Nims- C 1435 to make it a story, and introduced words that were not in the diary, of course, to make it, because I wasn't intending to publish a transcript of my diary notes, so I selected -- THE SPECIAL MASTER: That is not the question. The question was, does that statement represent the facts, that you had " a pleasant sail." A No -- it was pleasant in some ways, but unpleasant in others, when we had trouble with the boats; there wasn't any pleasure in having a boat stuck on the rocks and knocking holes in it and having to jump out up to our waist or higher and wade to shore and bowing the boats; that wasn't very pleasant. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Of course I take it, Mr. Nims, that on a trip of that length on a river you would expect to have some little accident or incident that wouldn't be entirely pleasant? A Yes. Q But that was intended by you to be a true general statement of the trip, that it was a pleasant sail down that stretch of river? A No. Q Until you got to the cataracts? A I did not intend it that way. Q You didn't intend to misrepresent the fact, did you, Mr. Nims? You didn't intend to misstate the fact and misrepresent it for any purpose, did you, in making that statement? |
