Appendix to the Memorial. 53 



Q. Will you say that it would not? A. No, because I don't 

 know exactly. 



Q. Where you found the Gerring when you came along- 

 side, I understand you to say that you were not sufficiently ac- 

 quainted with the tide to say whether it would carry her inshore 

 or offshore? A. It will carry her to the westward; you can look 

 at the chart and see whether it would carry her to the shore or 

 not. 



O. I am asking you? A. If you will let me look at the chart 

 I will tell you. 



O. You cannot tell except by looking at the chart? A. No. 



Q. What is the nearest headland according to this chart? A. 

 Liscombe Point would be the nearest headland. 



Q. Would you tell me how far from where you found her 

 taking fish it was to Liscombe Point? A. I think it was about 6 

 miles, speaking from memory. 



Q. You have spoken of Gull Ledge? A. Yes. 



Q. This ledge, how far from the main land is it ? A.I would 

 have to measure. (After examining chart.) It is more than three 

 miles from any main land. 



Q. I want you to tell me whether this place marked "Gull 

 Ledge" on this chart is not a portion of a sunken ledge? A. No, 

 it is not. 



Q. Do you say that at high tide no portion of it is covered? 

 A. No part of it is covered, except in the usual way, by the ebb 

 and flow of the tide. 



Q. Does any portion of it disappear at the highest tides? A. 

 I don't think the biggest portion of it is covered. I suppose the 

 lower parts of it are covered. 



Q. How did you take the bearings? A. I took the bearings 

 by the ship's compass. 



O. You took the bearings of Liscombe Point and judged 

 your distance from it? A. No, I did not; I took another bearing 

 of White Island. 



Q. Is that to the westward? A. It is W. N. W. 



Q. Was it Little White Island? A. We call it Big White 

 Island. 



Q. You took your bearings from there and also from Lis- 

 combe Point? A. No, from there and from Liscombe Lighthouse.
