Show 789 BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: " Q. Are rocks shown? " A. I don't think they are, no sir. " Q. What I am trying to get -- I am not intimating anything one way or the other -- for instance, on the Coast Survey, a map or a chart would show every reef, every bar and every sunken rock, and all that sort of thing. Those are intended for future use, to guide navigators. " What I am trying to see is how far this map is intended for a similar purpose. " A. It is not intended for purpose of navigation, at all. " MR. BLACKMAR: Of course those features, your Honor, refers [ Sic. referred] to must necessarily be made by soundings. A reef not exposed would have to be made by sounding. " THE SPECIAL MASTER: I don't believe there are any rocks shown on there." R. 1878- 1880. Cross Examination: ( R. Vol. 10, pp.- 1880- 1888.) Rocks were not shown on the map, as he didn't think the scale of the map was sufficiently great to show all of the rocks in some of the falls or rapids. R. 1880. If there were a pinnacle of rock that would stick up out of the river as a noticeable physicgraphic feature, that might be shown; but there were so many rocks in the rapids that they could not be shown on the scale the map was drawn to. The map shows, or was designed to show, all the sand- bars that were apparent above the surface of the water. R. 1881. |
