Mr. Belin. Do you remember whether or not you ever initialed the hulls?

Mr. Sims. I don't know if I initialed the hulls or not.

Mr. Belin. If you would have initialed the hulls, what initials would you have used?

Mr. Sims. As a rule, RMS.

Mr. Belin. RMS?

Mr. Sims. Yes, sir; but I believe I initialed the hulls or the envelope that I put them in.

Mr. Belin. Would you have initialed the outside or the inside of the hull? By that, do you understand what I mean?

Mr. Sims. Yes, sir; it all depends. I would initial the outside of the hulls, I imagine, or put a mark directly inside of the hull.

Mr. Belin. Either on the outside or directly inside the top part of the hull?

Mr. Sims. No, sir; the end.
