"What is it, my man?" demanded the captain.
"I don't know, sir," confessed Private Binns. "You'll have to ask Sergeant Kelly, sir."
"Binns," exploded Kelly, "you and me was standing at the stern on the captured motor boat for a spell, last night."
"We was—were," admitted Binns.
"Tell the captain what we saw when we looked down into the cabin, out of the darkness."
"Why we saw Ruggles handling Lieutenant Overton's revolver, in its holster," continued Private Binns.
"Now, what did the fellow Ruggles, do with the holster?" continued Sergeant Kelly severely.
"We saw him open the flap."
"And then?"
"Ruggles closed it again," stated Binns.
