[page 21] Q. You don't think there are attendants enough? A. No sir. Q. You went there in August. How was it in reference to water at that time? A. They had been bringing water when I came. I don't know how long there was a scarcity. Q. How long did they carry water? A. Until sometime in Oct., some time the last of Oct. Q. What is the rule about bathing? A. Bathe once a week Q. Did they have water to do that? A. They had water once to bathe very soon after I came there, and not for general bathing again until after the rain in October. Once in a while when it was absolutely necessary for patients to bathe, attendants would bring the water to bathe them. Q. Did I understand why they did not bathe? You say because you didn't have water? A. Because we didn't have water. Q. Did you judge that was a scarcity of water? A. I did. Q. Is there any caution recently given to you, or to your knowledge, to any of the attendants there to be unusually careful in the use of water? A. Yes, sir, within a few days. Q. How long ago was that caution given you? A. Some time within a week I should think, I don't remember exactly; some time very recently.
