709. Are all the people summoned to meet there on a particular
day?-There are certain men called for a particular day, according
as he can get through them,-so many men for each day.
710. How long does it take you to settle with him?-Perhaps three
or four hours. It is possible I might be three or four hours with
him myself. Generally three men go in a boat, and the three men
would probably take six hours, or perhaps only four hours.
711. You said there were six men in your boat last year?-Yes,
there were six in our boat, but three is the usual number in the
smaller boats.
712. And they will perhaps all go together to Mr. Bruce?-Yes,
the men in every boat go together; and Mr. Bruce gives us every
chance of being satisfied with our accounts that he possibly can.
