“I do not.”
“Do you object to answering the question I asked?”
“I do not,” replied Scott, who had by this time made up his mind that the truth could not harm his friend. “I was with Raimundo all the time he was on board of the steamer. We went in the same boat, and returned together.”
“Did you notice the gentleman that came on board of the Tritonia with Mr. Lowington?”
“I did. He was on deck here half an hour, or more.”
“Did you see him on board of the American Prince?”
“I did. He spoke to the principal just as Raimundo and I passed behind him.”
“Behind whom?”
“Behind the principal. I looked the gentleman in the face while he was speaking to Mr. Lowington.”
