“I did, sir.”

“When did you hear a woman scream?”

“Just before that.”

“What did you do?”

“Nothing. It was the Hansen woman. I didn’t like her. She was a bad woman. When I told her what she was, she laughed.”

“Were you ever below in the after house?”

“No, sir; not since the boat was fixed up.”

“What could you see through the window beside the wheel?”

“It looked into the chart-room. If the light was on, I could see all but the floor.”

“Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., did any one leave or enter the after house by the after companion?”
