26 the wheel. When I joined the boat I was given to understand that I had nothing to do with navigating the boat. To Mr. Irving. I have a master's certificate. Have been 2 years on the route. We were within 5 or 600 yards of Cadbro Point. The Enterprise had rounded the Point. She could have gone within 70 yards of the beech. I don't think the Rithet was too close in shore. I never thought the Enterprise intended to cross our bows. I thought it was the tide. I don't think there was any mistake in the whistles. To the Jury. The tide whirls round at that point and the helm has but little effect in it. I have seen the Rithet take heavy sheers coming up there with a stong flood tide. I was disobeying orders in going into the pilot house. The master and quartermaster were the only two men who steered.
