"There," he said quietly, "goes all evidence that I cheated."
He picked up the revolver he had laid on the deck and moved a short distance from the companionway.
There was an extra violent crash and it seemed that the door must burst open.
"Another one like that will do the work," said Harris, calmly.
He took up what he considered a strategic position and produced his watch. This he lay on the deck and sat down beside it.
"May as well be comfortable," he remarked.
Again there was a crash and the door of the companionway burst open. A
German head appeared.
"Crack!" Harris had fired without moving from his sitting posture.
The German head disappeared and there was a cry of alarm from below.
"One down, I guess," said Harris, quietly, to himself.
