Appendix to the Memorial. 55 



east? A. Yes, it would show that she was to the east of the line 

 when I took that bearing. It would show that we were that much 

 to the west of the Gerring. It would not have anything to do 

 with the Gerring. 



Q. The Gerring would be to the east of you? A. Yes. 



Q. If that line was correct it would show that she was fur- 

 ther to the east than the place you now put her? A. Yes. 



Q. If the line b was correct it would show that the Gerring 

 was further to the east? A. It would not change the position of 

 the Gerring at all. 



Q. Now when you came to the cross section on the chart, you 

 measured from there to Gull Ledge ? A. Yes. 



Q. What was the distance by your measurement? A. I think 

 it was a little over a mile and a half. 



Q. Would you say that it was not two miles ? A. Yes, it was 

 not two miles. 



Q. Have you no memoranda made at the time? (Mr. Ritchie 

 proposes to hand memoranda to witness.) 



Q. At the time you made this seizure you had taken the 

 cross sections on your own ship before you made the seizure? A. 

 Yes. 



Q. Did you make this report then or afterwards? (Refer- 

 ring to paper produced by Mr. Ritchie.) A. I made it afterwards. 



Q. When? A. I think it was the next day. 



(The Court: That is not a memorandum made at the time.) 



Q. What was the distance from where the Gerring was 

 to Gull Ledge? A. It was a mile and five-eighths of a mile as 

 near as I can make it. The distance from Gull Ledge to the 

 nearest point of Barron Island I think is less than a mile and a 

 half. 



Q. There is one part of Gull Ledge that is about 30 feet 

 high? A. Yes. 



(The Court: What is the course from Gull Ledge to Barron 

 Island? A. It is nearly north.) 



Q. From where the Gerring was to Barron Island, what 

 would the distance be? A. (After making measurements on 

 chart.) It is exactly on the three miles. 



Q. Gull Ledge is just a ledge in the sea? A. I would rather 

 call it an island.
