Appendix to the Memorial. 25 



Q. Which was nearest to the shore, the place where Capt, 

 Hardy pulled his fish or the place where you did? A. I think Capt. 

 Hardy was a little to the north of us; a very little. 



Q. You said that when he pulled his fish you were a little 

 outside of him? A. Yes. 



Q. How long was it after he pulled his fish, that you pulled 

 yours? A. It was about the same time. 



Q. Who got through first? A. He did, but he did not have 

 so many fish. 



Q. How long did he get through before you did? A. I 

 should say it was 45 minutes or an hour. 



O. In that time you would make in a little towards the shore? 

 A. That I could not say. 



Q. I want to have your judgment about it? A. I don't see 

 how we could make a S. W. drift; we were heading S. E, by E. 

 and I think we were drifting S. W. 



Q. You say that according to your judgment, you were the 

 same distance from the shore when you began to bail the fish, that 

 you were when you finished? A. No, when the cutter took us I 

 think we were a little south of where we commenced work ; I think 

 we were a little further from the shore than when we began. 



Q. But nothing material? A. No, there was not much wind. 



Q. You saw where Capt. Hardy caught his fish? A. Yes, 

 quite plainly. 



Q. Was it inside of where you caught yours ? A. Yes, I think 

 the vessels were 20 yards apart. We were lying on a line and I 

 was just about the same distance from the shore that he was. 



Q. About what time did you put your net out? A. It was 

 pretty close around 4 o'clock. 



Q. You had heard an hour before that, that you were pretty 

 near the line ? A. No sir, I heard the captain of the cutter say that 

 he was on the line. 



Q. But you were near it? A. I was outside of him. 



Q. You consider that you were outside the line? A. Yes, 

 about 150 yards. 



Q. Which end of the net would be 150 yards from the line? 

 A. The boat would be that far from the line. 



Q. Would not the net be on the shore side of the boat? A. No, 

 it would be on the ocean side of it.
