Show 486 " A grounding at about mile 571/ 2, with a depth of 21/ 2 feet. " A grounding at mile 56 -- nearly 57. " 56 1/ 3 have a grounding with a depth of 11/ 2 feet. " BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: " Q Just a minute, colonel, so I can understand this as we go along. " Are you going to distinguish between groundings and getting stuck on bars? [ R._ 1234] " A No, your Honor; they practically merge into each other. I made no reference how serious the grounding was. " At mile 551/ 2 a grounding, with 11/ 2 feet, both up and down. " Sounding of 3 feet just above mile 55. " A grounding about mile 541/ 2. " A grounding at 53 3/ 4. " A grounding at 53. " We passed over that point without grounding coming up. " Incidentally, these notes of groundings are not necessarily complete. In other words. I might have been doing something else on some occasion, that is, part way on the up trip. [ R. 1235] |
