Show 213 above the junction and stopped for lunch at Mile 10 at 11: 30 o'clock. By the Special Master: Q When did you start? A 8: 37. Q And stopped for lunch at 11: 30, after three hours? A Stopped for lunch at 11: 30. We made approximately 2.4 miles an hour upstream. That time included stops necessary to take pictures and fill tank of our outboar motor, and waiting for the big boat when we got stuck on sandbars, to be pushed off. By Mr. Blackmar: Q Well, did the big boat get stuck on sandbars? A The big boat got stuck on sandbars; yes, sir. The big boat got stuck on a sandbar at Mile 3.8, at a point where Mr. Baldwin was trying to find a channel over a bar. Q Well, Mr. Baldwin had been down that stream about three or four days before that? A He had been down that stream on the Wednesday morning, probably, on that particular trip. By Mr. Farnsworth: Q Somebody told you that, I suppose? A Well, he arrived where we were on Wednesday afternoon, and this is only four miles above there; so I assume he did. Mr. Farnsworth: It does not matter. Go ahead. 2176 |
