"What were your relations after that?"

"They were strained. We simply avoided each other."

"Just a few more questions, Mr. Turner, and I shall not detain you.
Do you carry a key to the emergency case in the forward house, the
case that contained the axe?"

Like many of the questions, this was disputed hotly. It was
finally allowed, and Turner admitted the key. Similar cases were
carried on all the Turner boats, and he had such a key on his ring.

"Did you ever see the white object that terrified the crew?"

"Never. Sailors are particularly liable to such hysteria."

"During your delirium, did you ever see such a figure?"

"I do not recall any details of that part of my illness."

"Were you in favor of bringing the bodies back to port?"

"I--yes, certainly."

"Do you recall going on deck the morning after the murders were
discovered?"

"Vaguely."
