Can you form any general estimate of how much you carried up before that time? A. No sir. Q. Was it any where near as much, or half? A. I think it was about the same, but I could not say for certain. Mr. Morrill:- How many flights of stairs did you say? A. Some times three, always two. Mr. Hill:- It seems to me it is unnecessary to take up much time on the water. It was admitted I believe, on all hands that there was a scarcity there during that time Dr. Butler:- I want to say there was only about fifteen days that there was an absolute want of water I want to know where that water was. We find it was not used for these ordinary purposes
