Lord Mersey:
Are you able on a chart to mark what you say was the course of your ship?
Captain Kendall:
Yes, my Lord.
Lord Mersey:
Will you be able to indicate what you think was the course of the Storstad?
Captain Kendall:
Well, my Lord, the charts are on rather a small scale.
Lord Mersey:
Well, I have no doubt they are.
Captain Kendall:
They are too small to give a very exact location.
Lord Mersey:
What is the scale of these charts?
Mr. Aspinall:
Between four and five miles to the inch, my Lord, I believe.
Lord Mersey:
Now, Captain Kendall, will you take one of these charts and to the best of your ability mark the course which you say your ship took?
Captain Kendall:
Yes, my Lord.
Lord Mersey:
Well, you had better take it and go into some room back there and do it.
Captain Kendall:
Yes, my Lord.
Lord Mersey:
You had better take a coloured pencil for that - how long will it take you to do it, Captain Kendall?
Captain Kendall:
A matter of five minutes at most.
Lord Mersey:
Then go and do it, and we will wait for you six or seven minutes, and then when you come back we will send some one else. I hope you don’t want all the witnesses to do it, do you, Mr. Haight?
(The witness withdrew.)
