“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?”
