“Then what happened?”
“When the boat rolled over to the right, she couldn’t make any headway. But when the boat rolled to the left, she moved very rapidly. Just then the boat gave a sudden lurch. The defendant ran the body down to the rail, then lifted it, raised the revolver and shot him again. Then she pushed him into the ocean.”
“ Then what did she do?”
“She ran forward along the boat deck, and I lost sight of her when she ran around behind the hospital.”
“What did you do?”
“I screamed.”
“Now, do you know what time this was?” Scudder asked.
“I do. I know exactly what time it was.”
“What time was it?”
“It was a few moments after nine. Just before I heard the first shot, I had heard the ship’s bell ring twice. That’s nine o’clock, according to ship time — two bells in the evening.”
