wee . re er ee ONT See ee ee eee compass directions by ees. Believe it or not, it even shows Dike Road and the kric.# I vould bet that ali om the center of the road from Wrong-Turn Junction to the beginning of the bridge (the road is aimost straight) would have a bearing of very nearly 120 degrees. Now then, if we subtract Inspector Kennedy's 27 de- - grees for the angle of the bridge to the road we get 93 degrees, ° which is almost due east (90 degrees). (The map is in slight er- ror; it shows the bridge at an angle to the roac on the easterly je side of the cut, rather than the westerly.) , - Supportive to this is the introductory phrase preceding the -first quotation from civil engineer Eugene Jones's report given on~ page 31: “starting at Station 0+00 ana proceeding. in a south- - easterly direction, the roadway is on tangent...etc." This does not necessarily mean due southeast, or a bearing of precisely 135 _ degrees, but in that general direction, which could be 120 degrees. . But what is anomalous about this? Why-e simply that the Sena- tor said (see page 4) he had never been on Chappaquiddick before the day of the swim and later cook-out, and such accuracy as to the lay of such a road and ramshackle bridae is unusual. Inciden- tally, the people around those parts thought such a statement was a little anomalous, Participating in the Edgartown Regatta, which - he @id that Friday afternoon (the race), has long been a family tradition, and in all that time he never visited Chappaguicd==::: ANOMALY M (p. 11) ; this point “ It is a pity we don't know where "up to #ees was, but it is surmisable that it was somewhere on the upper part of his bocy, pérhaps around his neck or chin. This is based on,scuba diver Far- rar's estimate of a depth of from six to seven feet in the immnedi- ‘ate vicinity of the vehicle at approximately 8:45 a.m. when he recovered the body. Mr. Kennedy is reputed to be six feet, two inches, tall, and let us be mindful that it was 4 slack tide he had.plunged into and the water, therefore, was lower than it had been at the approximate midpoint between tides, as with Mr. Farrer. , And if he had been truly unable to stand, as he claimed, how would he have been able to say “It was up to * .

She is the mo- ther of the family. “on Saturday morning, July 19, 1969, two - boys knocked on my door and said there is a car upside-down in the water by the bridge. ...Sometime during the evening before; J was aware of a car going faster than usual going toward the “Dike.
