Q. Is there any material change to be made in the general charges 

 for provisions, trawl-gear, &c. ? A. I don't make any. I leave the 

 statements I have put in just as they stand, because they are actual 

 statements of the cost of those things on a particular vessel at the 

 time shown in the statements. 



Q. Charged in the way they charged them ? A. Yes. 



Q. These statements you have made for your own information. I did 

 not ask you to do so; but these statements you have just read show 

 what the items would be if you had to make a nice distribution of the 

 cost over the time during which they would last! A. Yes. 



Q. Well, then, when Mr. Davies treated the statement of expense put 

 in before as being an exact equitable assessment on each year, that was 

 not what you meant, was it ? A. Of course not. 



Q. Now, I observe in Mr. Davies' cross-examination that he took up 

 the Daniel McPhee. The evidence is reported as follows : 



Q. When was it prepared ? A. It was prepared before I left home. 



Q. What was the tonnage of the Daniel McPhee T A. About 60 tons, I think. 



Q. Yon prepared this statement yourself? A. Yes. 



Q. From your own books ? A. Yes. 



Q. Will you read the column of catches in which the 17 barrels appeared? A. 54&. 

 230, 263*, 41, 17, 86i, 244, 207, 275, 325, 310, 32% 385, 57. They are shore and gulf 

 mixed. 



Q. Will yon take out the shore ? A. 57, 86^. 



Q. The catches on your shore appear to be small compared with the others ? A. 

 The -tii barrels were caught iu five days off our shores.
