Does it occur to you as curious that neither the cannons nor the cannon balls were found? They might have been stolen or washed away too."
Shown some photographs show-" ing some holes in the side of the junk, Mr. Macnamara said that the suggestion of the defence was that those holes had been deliberately made.
The defence alleges that the junk was sunk by the wilful, illegal and fraudulent conduct of the master and mariners, or alterna- tively, with the connivance of the owner and that such sinking, not The witness replied that if they having been due to a perl of the had been made from the inside

SANK WITH GUNS During cross-examination By Mr. Macnamara yesterday the master of the launch towing the junk sald that the junk sank with her guns ¡on board.

The witness went on to say also that the edges would have been Jagged. "I have examined these holes," he proceeded, "and I say that the inside was wider than the outside,"
WOOD ROTTEN |
Mr. Macnamara said the ships surveyors who would give evidence, were of the opinion that where
the holes had been made the wood was all rotten and that they could pull away pieces of wood with the fingers. "Is that true." asked Mr. Macnamara.
"I did not go so far as that in my examination. I only looked at
the holes."
Mr. Machamere then referred to the holes in the starboard side of the boat and asked whether the witness could suggest" any reason, why the holes should be there.
Witness: There may be many reasons It may be that when the ship was sinking she hit against something on the sea bed...
