THE RAILROAD WAR. Che Jamaica Folks to Bring the South Side Railroad Company to Time. ‘The principal theme of conversation among tho Song Island people is the railroad troubles at ‘amaica, There were many people greatly disap- ointed yesterday. The trustees have now declared themselves determined to fight to the last. They were willing to meet the railroad officials and ‘modify all objectionable things so far as the public jzood would permit, but the railroad company evaded the issues and gaye them the cold shoulder. The movement now on foot isa serious one. ‘The railroad crosses four streets which the trustees say thoy never paid for, but were allowed to cross pro- This they have failed to do, They took possession of one en- tire street, promising to grade and construct one in ra stead. This they have not done, and + 18 now impossible for people to get on their property without climbing ‘4 the ratiroad eae ‘All these ings they did by suffrance. e Supreme Court has twice decided ‘nat they cannot cross these streets without con- sent of the trustees. The papers are being prepared for an injunction restraining the railroad company from crossing these streets. Should an injunction be Paniten tis public will be inconvenienced be- ‘yound catculation, many of those sojourning in the country having to drive many miles to get a train.

A Lawyer in Limbo. Yesterday afternoon Justice Buckley held an ex- amination in the case of Joseph Carr, a lawyer, fifty- five years of age, who was charged with having forged the name of Owen Byrne to an assignment of amortgage, by which he realized $1,873. The complaint is made by Charles Hobey, of East New York, who paid the above amount to the accused. ‘The latter made no detence and was held to await She action of the Grand Jury. Seven Horses Struck by Lightning. The thunder storm which passed over Brooklyn on Monday night caused considerable damage in the suburbs and several accidents are reported. O these the most extraordinary occurred at Flatlands, one mile beluw Flatbush. The son of John J. Rides was in the house at four o'clock in the morning waiting, before going to market, for the storm to subside, when he found the bara adjoining had been struck by lightning, and seven horses which it con- tained were lying on the ground unabie to move. The barn was burnea, killing the horses, anda Jaborer who was sieeping in the building, narrowly escaped with his life. Crime in Williamsburg. Patrick Ryan and Michael Reynolds, cousins, had @ cousinly quarrel over a little difficulty in North Fifth street on Monday night, when Cousin Ryan fractured one of Cousin Reynolds’ legs. Mr. Ryan was arraigned before Justice Voorhies yesterday, but he walved examination and gave ponds to an- swer to the Grand Jury, ‘The cousins’ quarrel was inspired by whiskey.

Yesterday morning a storm passed over Trenton, and the lightning strack two houses on the White - Horse road—Mr, Zeikwolfs aud Mrs. Fox's, The end of the latter house was smashed, and a child burned on the forehead and other parts, but not seriously. Mrs. Fox, who had the chiid in her arms, was stunned, but botn have recovere house struck a looking glass was broken and other Wwifling damage done. A Fiend from Jer State Prison. Yesterdzy morning a man, who gives the name of James Walsh, and is fim Union county, was re- Jeased from the State PXison, where he has been confined a year. He began drinking as soon as he Was at liberty, and then went tuto the house of Mr. Joseph Little, and ran after a young lady with took half a a knve in his hand Ii dozen men to secure him.

The Proceedings at the Official Investigation. More Testimony from Experts—One More Death Yesterday—The Coroner’s Investiga- tion to Commence To-Day. THE OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION. Sixth Day’s Testimony—Important Evidence by Ex-Inspector Berryman and Mr. Norman Wiard, The Board of Inquiry instituted by the Unitea States government sat again yesterday at the United States Courts for the purpose of receiving additional testimony. The engineer and boiler maker were recalled to correct errors, for thelr em- Ployers’ interest, and made statements that by no means accorded with the former evidence given. A BT. LOUI8 INSPROTOR, Captain James Gormiey was then sworn and examined—I fm a steamer superintendent on the Lakes, and reside at St. Lonis; I have seen the Westiield boiler and examined it thoroughly; 1 think one of the causes of the explosion was the stopping of the supply of water from the boiler ven point; the next cause 1 the great age of the boller, and the next was the conduct of the engineer; by his own admission he was absent from the post of ‘duty on the engive: it seems thathe hascontrol of the cheok valve and that itis within his reach ; the difference of the expansion of « boiler and the touching ‘of the feed—an injection of cold water—woul cuuse a difference in the expansion of the fron; I think that the rupture commenced on the starboard side. EXsINSPEOTOR WILLIAM H. BERRYMAN, William H. Berryman, an ex-inspector of thin port, was then examined—I am a’ machinist and have been for thir- teen years; I know of the condition of the Weatheld’s boiler; a yeur ago I inspected it on the 9h of July; at that time I had @ patch put on the steam chimney and also on the water bottom; @ macninist ‘in the chimney with & ammner and tried every parts shen I put the presure on, and after the inspection It was in good order; I put on thirty-seven poneees I had great difficulty in getting those atches put on; ., Braistod said that he would not repair he Dollar as ho sald it wi 4 enough ; I had quite a blow up anout the matter, but I Yn hy ited that the pressure should be put on and that I'would not give the boat a certiticate unless they were put on; when! was going down to Staten. nd to inapect the boat I encountered Captain Braisted he asked mei! Iwas going down to inspeot the boat, and 1 eala “Yes,” and HEN HE BEGAN TO SWEAR and told mo 1 was a ‘damned hireling,” and that he would have me turned out; I told him that was his master, and that so long as a life was at stake I should do my duty, and I went to Mr, Vanderbilt and told him he must get rid of that man or he might get him into trouble, ‘General BELKNAT—I cannot recollect whether T shifted Yea. Q. Then how is it you did your whole duty when you did not co into the boiler? A, Well, 1 can’t make {t any plainer. ¥ . You say it was necessary to a. ‘a\dnot do itt yet you say you did your duty? A. Yea, I do; [tested the bo.er with “King’s gaug 1 think I did. Q. You think you did! Itis not only a matter of remem- brance; everything that you did is a matter of record; everything that ooncerns the inspection of sieamers for the United States government is « matter of record. Ido not want you to think; I want your positive knowledge. I want to know ifthe inspectors appointed by the United States do their duty, and 0 into the boiler, and 1 AM GOING TO FIND 17 OUT. Mr. HILL—Are yon an applicant for oflce? A. Yes; 1am an applicant to be put T never designed a back 5 cueaet other people supplied the drawings and T superintended the making of the engines; there are tive ferry boats running on the east aide of the city carrying engines that I have superin- tended to make; the drawings were furnished and I m: the machinery. . Did you ever design a boiler? A. No, Mr. Belknap. eneral BELKNAP Do not talk to me in that way. I want to ask you @ question, MRunyMan—-Well, what do you want? Toonsider I did my duty as an inspector, indeed, General BELKNAt—When you have Gnished I will speak. Did you ever design a boller yoursel! A. 0, MR.

A, couldn't; I did no: come here to answer those ques tions; I don’t know. . Did you refuse to give the Westfield a certificate? A. I aid, untitshe waa properly repaired; | ordered those repairs to be done before I would give a certiticate, aud when they were done I gave one. n the certificate? A. I expect I did. ‘ou did or not? A. I think I did; T 10 the best of my knowledge, to any boat uniess I had tuspected her mysell How could you tell tf a boiler was not repaired? A. 1 to rely on my judgment; Lam not aware that Matthews ever gave a certificate against my judgment, Q. What do you believe to have een the RY OAUS4 OF THIS EXPLOSION ? A. If Leould have got to the boat and got itt should have toid you; I only know waatI have heard, but I have told you my opinion. Q. Upon wat fs yourfopinion based? A. Myopinion is that Mr, Matthews did not go to Staten Island at ail; that he did not inspect the boat; that the gauge was out of order, | and that a preasure of thiryy four pounds was never put on. Q. Do you beileve that Mr. Matthews did not put that preasutre Oa the bouler—E mean that to which he has sworn ? A. I do not tink it ever was puton; it ought to have reached i ‘our ponniisg} tell you (emphatienliy) I do not ve there Was that pressure paton of hydrostatic test— sir; “Why not?” you say; because I belleve taere was nok. Q. Don't you think Matthews looked at that gauge? A. No, sir, Ldon’t; the government gauge was not indicating according to that. . What reason have you to say that, when he has sworn by the certificate that t was put on? Is it not usual to prove that a abip is in good condition before a certificate is granted? BERRYMAN EXPLAINS. Will you allow me to explain? I refused to pass the steamer North America ; and J told the owner, as well as the captain and engineer’ on the dock, that'l could not let her go sem without she had more pumping power; she had but one small donkey pump for aup- piving three boilers, and I said I reiused to let a vessel go to | sea which could not retili ber boilers In case of anything hap- | pening that should cause her to stop on the ocean; this one pump was for dealing with the bilge water, assisting fn un- Nonding, dc., and supply for three botiers; I can’t give the size of that particular pump now ; I should not like to give It, as I don't know if tt js on the boat now; well, is that all you want Mr. Hill? Ido not know how much pumpiog power there should have been; I know no more than that. ‘To Mr. Hill—I am not able to infer the {inportance of your testimony uoless I can understand UPON WHAT YOU HASFE YOUR REMARKS, A, T went to the office and told Matthews, in the presence of the Captain, I could not allow a certticute, and then Mat- thews told the Captain to “turn round and not pay any at- tention to what I'said.” Q. Do you not consider that Nr, Matthews’ judgment was enough ad an engineer to know if that pump was in a sound condition and sufficient? A. No: I don't think he knows anything about it; Matthews did not go on the shtp at all; I don’t thinlk he knows anything about it T know he didn't ko on board at that inspection; that pump has been on the ship since she was butit; Matthews told the Captain that he would see that he went to sea the next day. Q Will you give us FULL REASONS Why the Lea could not be“put to sea? A. Because she was not seaworthy; I told him right there 1 would not inspect the ship until’ sbe should bave three pumps put in and was overhauled; what docs Matthews do? he came afterwards, ordered @ certiticate to be made out, signed my name to it and passed it at the Custom House. Mr. HILL--What, sir; you think he counterfeited your 2” A. He did; my dear sir, don't you understand, that igned my name to the certiticate you look 80; L told you and not his own. Q. But itis required by law that the inspectors shall swear to the certificate of such inspection? A. Yes, certainly. Q. Po you suppose that Matthews would go there and swear that the certificate was in your name? A. Well, the ship went out to sea without my having made out the certii= cate; TF did not understand that { was to make examaination | under his order, but that I was quite independent of him; I did not consider him my superior, @. Am Ito infer in regard to signing your name to that certificate as having {nspected her that Mr, Matthews would have testified to having tested the boiler of the Westtieid when he had not cone A. Yes, sit; Uinfer from that he would; Thave had misunderstandings with Matthews be- cause he passed ‘TNE NORTH AMRRIOA. General BELENAP—How large were these pumps? A.

M erriman was next examined with reference to a cor munication published in the HERALD on Staday lash at stated substantially the substance of that ihe’ had never spoken to any one about publishing that, and he main- tained that he ordered the repairs to be done to the voller as far back as July, 1870, to the steam chimney and aiao to. the water bottom, “this Mr. Vanderbill solicitor endeavored to refute, but failed Jn this instance. ‘THE BTRAM GAUGE WRONG, ra and examined- I am a super- onstructor of steam potlers, Mr. E Please give 1s vour opinion as to the cause of the explosion, A.

THE FRERY BOILER MAN RECALLED, Thomas Connolly, the boiler maker, desired to mal tate: m the man referred to in the HkRALD on Sw riman ald not order any repsirs in 182) at all; ring 1869; Jered the Westfield in 1860 to be inspected, aud tor ‘that purpose I took ber up to the Union ferry yard and got the use of the hydrant; by the time he arrived I nd the water up to the valve, and I went to work and took eff the cover of the valve; THERR WAS A PITTLE LAK round the neck of the chimney and there was one socket bolt loose; he came up aud took a look round and when he saw the leak be sald, “Hold on with that water, I won't, test you telt me what that boat; Captain Bralated sald, not? the connec: tions are good ;"" we had to run the water out and be said, “Take ber back and cement and repair that boiler and I will inspect her im & day or iwo;” he came down next day and © both’ took hammers, and I got inside and sounded every boiler, and afterwards he said it wa was in the State of New York; when ve teste it with the hydrostatic pump he said to me, “Hursy up, I have some- where else to go,” and a(terwards he went away without see- ing the gauges or trying any of the bolte; as he passed. off the boat be asked me to give him the old cerdlicate, as be wanted to make out another one; the government safety valve was not locked at that time. NORMAN WIARD'S BTATAMENT, Norman Wiard took the stand after the recess, and. was duly sworn and said—My business {4 that of a mechanical enginecr; I nave examined the Westtieli’s boiler; Lam an expert at'this, and have devoted twelve years ag to the causes of boiler explosions; I was there the day atter the explosion and aay lant, {n order to determine the boiler accident, and 1 took things about inthe same order that Treadwell traced the cause of the combustion of @ train of gunpowder viz:—‘from the beginning to the end; t, L wanted to determine the be- ginning, and the first obaervation that I made regarding that Tupture'was, that it began on the left hand or pord side of the boller ar’she then was, and abont the level of the middle of the height of the lower iiues; that part of the sheet that “had torn oif the boiler, according to my opinion, had torn direct and by the force of the expiosion had been thrown back over ayainst the ship, while the other tion had remained in the bottom of the boat; I could not ¢ mistaken about the original rapture: it seemed to me fm- possible that that rapture had commenced at the place where the ribbon had been pulled out of the boiler ; the ribbon had been pulled out two-thirds of the circumference of the boller; Tauppose THE SOLK CAUSE of theo riginal rupture was that the water got helow the flue or below the centre line, and that the bottom of the shell of the boiler was contracted to a less degree tian the top, and the difference, in the contraction wad expansion caused the bottom ‘of the botler tg separate. (tere Mr. Wiard pro: duced a diagram. of ‘the. boller.) 1 suppoxe ‘the boiler was ruptured transversely previously, roleasing the end portion of the ribbou, or piece of ler. (He then aeseribed the manner tn which the plate must have torn). Timagined | had seen the whole rupture, some four- teen or fifteen inches long, but that was not prove there was « tranaverse rupiure nearly partly througit the rivet holes ‘and parily throu! ‘and my impression is that it was only caused a few minutes before tbe explosion, and I have not only given you evidence that there was such & rupture, but I have proof it was there; at Trenton, a few. yeurs aio, i spent. 22G000 to 20,000 ex: perimenting, and in order to’tell the different QUALITIES OF IRON, and I therefore know the quahties; where the fron {s tough when ft is broken and you piace your finger along the broken edge you will experience a sensation as though you were touching the points of thousands of needies; | tested this iron and found tt to be exactly of that descr ion ; that sheet was torp away by tensile strain; 1 took a 7 a oun the cause of g colypers with me and measured ft and that on the top it was about a quarter of an inch thick, and that on the bottom and some of the other parts it was petween a quarter and five-gighths; Thave indicated there was a transverse rupture first, and am prepared to prove that a transverse rupture cannot be obtained by the elastic preasure of steam; I shall be very careful that I moan every word that I say here to-day ; THE DIFYERENOD OF THE TEMPERATURE between the top and bottom of the boiler would not be very great; the transverse rupture took place just previous to this explosion. 8. Neral BELKNAP—Ssupposing that water—the same water—had been in that bottom for one hour exposed to the upper heating surface only, do you think there would be any difference of temperature between ihe top and bottom: or, supposing the water to be rough coming from Staten Island, would that motfon of the water make any dilference? A It would make less difference unless some mechanical action Was used; there is no possibility of heating that water below the lowest heating sur/ace in these lower flies, Q. Ido not suppose that any part of the heat of the fre gould be by any means communicated to that grate? A. 7 {s about 272 degrees above and 280 below. (Mr. Wiard ated to the Board the result of some experiments he had ith & machine of his own inventton, whereby he co a locomotive with the crown sheet of the fire surface al most bere, and that he had means of cooling the steam, and that steam again cooled the iron; this was a machine to be that the tempera. was a8 low down as eighty degrees—it may be ninety or one hundred; with regard to the force square inch bar of fron with two thou- sand pounds expended upon it would increase in lencth one five-thousandth part of an inch and an equal expansion of length for every sixteen degrees of hext; according to my fidgment thero was ifty thousand decrees of heut in, the ottom of the shell; that ts a little more than we should ai- low, because it should not be more than 40,Cv0 pounds, allow- ing'for the weakening of the seams; I examined all the joints of the boiler that 1 could butt did not exa- mine the flues or lonsitudinat joints of the tines; 1 hope I have made mysel! clear #3 to the measure of the force em- ployed to break it; any piece of iron audjected to a tensile ntrain will receive a permanent expausion of more than one. halt; I think the RIVET SEAMS REDUCE STRENGTH OF THE IRON about fity-aeven ove-hindredthe—that fs, supposing the tron to be capable of sustaining a tensile sprain of 69,000 pound, it would taice upwards of thirty thousand pounds off tt after it was riveted, Q. Do you mean to infer that there must have been 80,00) pounds tension tothe square foch atthe time of the explo- sion? Yes; assinning that tension-f you find # part of this boller withan equal strength with that part that gave way ‘on can assume that it was not the elasticity of steam that. roke it; 1 hvae examined every longitudinal seam in this boner and I nd that it wi ongitudinal strain that tore the plate, and that it was not a steam explosion or from elastic pressure, Mir. Wiara entered into a number of details, and exp! at greatlength the manner in which the {ron was. str how to prevent the future explosion by the application of proper appliances, and concluded by stating that he once Knew a boiler to explote -repara e in the c was no ire under it except ug two han the flues, put there by the engineer. ‘The testimony not being complete, the investiga- tion will be continued to-day at ten o'clock.

C., August 8, 1871, The base ball game this afternoon between the Bostons and the Olympics was witnessed by a large number of persons. At the conclusion of the eighth tnning the clubs were even, but onthe ninth the Bostons made three and the Olympics none, the Bostons thus winning the game, [tis considered the most interesting game played on the Olympic grounds this season, ‘The following is the seore by innings 2d.

[A DISINTERESTED CORPORATION Visit to the Astoria Ferry and the Result, ‘Strange Revelations—Running a Ferry for Fun— A Man for the Times—A Steamboat Inspector and the Boiler He Inspected--Some- thing About Profit and Logs, The ways of soulless corporations are past finding out by simple cluzens, and it seldom happens that their strange doings get full ventilation, An indi- vidual sinner, in devious ways, is table to bear the terrible infliction of general notice, being, a3 it were, a solitary sapling exposed to view on an open plain; but who can make a distinction, and mark out a fruitless fig tree im @ close forest? Responsibility is the por- Uon of individuals; irresponsibility is the lite of corporations. Thus reflecting, while an East River steamer bore him quickly up to Hell Gate yesterday, @ WERALD reporter prepared himself for an exami- nation of the wondrous works known as THE ASTORIA FERRY COMPANY. Thecompany is a corporate bory of course (every Tespectable semi-demt ward chowder club now has us franchise), and ts of anctent origin, When the vor populi of that smiling region of rising land and Sinister morass which now bears the lengthy name of Long Island Otty heard of the wonders of steam itclamored for a boat with wheels, and eventually got lt, Previous to the introduction of this trrepres- sible innovator the residents of Astoria had ,to rely upon THE HORSE FERRY, a species of equine treadmill that would have har- rowed the soul of the benevolent Bergu had he witnessed it, A horse, fastened on board a fat- bottomed boat, “walked the waters like a thing of life,” roping in barge and passengers from Astoria to Nincty-second street and back again, The company owning the ferry managed to put two boats on the route in 1852—the Sunswick and the Williamsburg. No boats could be constructed by man better calculated to stifle passengers in summer or freeze them in winter. But, as stated by one of the employes of ths company, they were good enough for their work, Astoria passengers, 1t would seem, have no objec- von to beingestified during the heated term or frozen up in midwinter. Perhaps long familiarity with the horse ferry made them callous and hard« ened; at all events they made no violent demon- stration against the corporation, Whea the reporter visited THE ASTORIA SIDE OF THE FERRY yesterday he was seized wih melancholy. A more, wo-begone sight never presented itself to bis view. A crumbling ferry house, gnawed out of shape by hungry water rats and blown awry by violent winds, was partially shaded by drooping willow trees. The slip groaned ti an agony of apprehenston, aua rut. fianiy planks rose with @ resounding shout in tumult agulnst invading footsteps, while relics of departed row boats split their sides with laughter in the san, Botiers, rusty and forbidding im aspect, gaped out rom a side yard, and tke noise of ham mering and tinkering was heard from the direction of a forlorn hulk Jaid up in ordinary. The latter was the Sunswick, a noble craft of twenty yeurs ago. Ja answer to @ hallo (vulgus, holler), a gentleman, a to his eyes in rust, and Who looked as if he had een SCRATCHING IN THE BOWELS OF A BOILER for hail a century, crawled out to view and ad- vanced with a cheery smile. He sald he was the superintendent of the company and that tne com- pany was = 4 corporation. ‘The Sunswick, he said, with a dubious look, was a good boat, and the Williamsburg was newer and better. Would the geniieman look at her? The gentleman took a particularly caretul look, Blackwell's Islaud shone resplendent in the river through her gaping sides, The wind whistled derisively through her upper works and sighed in her bows, Never did an inanimate thing wear a more decided aspect of desolauion within and with. out, “This Une doesn’t pay,” said the gental, though rusty, Superintendent. “No, not tor torty years. ‘Toe company loses all the time.” “And who disinterested patriots who keep the boats ranniug t” was asked, “Oh,” said Mr. Booth, “the president is Mr, Winans, of Astoria; then there’s Mr, 'Trattord and Mr. Willet, of Flusning. I suppose they keep the thing running in nopes of better times.” “When were the boilers of these boats last EXAMINED BY THE UNITED STATES INSPECTORS, Mr. sooth?" “In September last they were examined by In- spector Joseph Coffee (he lives in Hartem), and he gave cortaticates, of course, that they were all right. Were the boilers all right, Mr. Booth? “Well, we took the boiler out of the Williamspurg shortly after it was inspected and we got the certutt- cate and repaired 1t.”” “What for, Mr. Booth 2” “What tors Humph! We knew darned well It tid bust and play hell et we didn’t; that’s what ‘twas fur,’” Here Mr. Booth smiled mysteriously at an old patched boiler lying awkwardly on an tron elbow on the ground near by, “It was as cad as that,’? he said, as he kicked at the corroded trou. “What! as bad as that, after being inspected by the United States oMicers?" “Jess so; bad as that, or nearly so when it was taken out. IT WAS FIXED UP, though !"? “Boiler patched ?? ‘o, the voiler warn’t patched; but it was fixed, Iteli you.” “Don't youthink, Mr. Boothe, that fixing up dam- aged botiers 18 a pretty bad business? Human lives ougit to be of more value than old iron,” “Well, ye see, there Warn’t an accident on this line for twenty years. We are very careful. ‘The engineer on this here boat (pointing to the Williams- burg boat Just come in) was a fireman first and then an fa jneer. He was a fireman tm the navy, too, and of course le kuows all about engines and voilers.”” Mf course y es, aud the men On board know their business well, too, You looked queer when [said that the ferry didn’t pay. See now:—We make thirty-four trips @ day, averaging $1 75a trip. ‘The ferriage ts four cents, THAT DORSN’T PAY, DOES 11? The boats run from five inthe morning toten at night. Where will you get the coal and oi and wages’ Why sometimes, in winter, the boats don’t earn four doilars.”” After this explanation the reporter went on board the Williamsburg and crawled into the hold. He was shown the boiler, but, not liking its general ap- pearance, he got out again as fast as he could. A visit to the New York side of the ferry disclosed the fact that the two ferryhouses and slips there were even In a Worse condition than those at Astoria, being dilapidated and mean im appearance, and, by reason of the rottenuess of the planking, DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND LIMB, ‘The reporter returned from his inspection wonder- ing how it was that ina city alleged to be so utterly corrupt there could flourish a corporation so disin- terested and mindfal of the public interests, at the sacrifice of thelr own, a% the Astoria Steam Ferry Compan, The President of the Union Ferry Company on Public Safety. Mr. Cyrus P. Smith, President of the Union Ferry Company, stated In an interview with a scribe yes- terday that he considered the number of buoys generally carried ou the ferryboats quite sufictent 1a case of accident, The accidenta have been very few. A boy lost lis life in 1868, and that accident occurred through his own carelessness. This Mr. Smith considers wonderful, in view of the fact that they transport 40,000,090 of people annually, On the Mineola ferryboat there are twenty buoys, each capable of supporting eight persons. There are enough on each boat to save two or three hundred people. ‘The buoys are not lashed, but are simply hooked, and couid ve removed tustantiy. The boats freqnently carry 1,500 people, and it Would be impossibie to find jroom anywhere to put preservers enough to rd one for each of those people in case of acci- mith #aid:—Itis our interest to pre- accidents, a8 We are lable to pay heavy dam- It is Not possibie to carry one preserver for possible passenger upon a boat.
