"Now, then, Mr. Banning, where were you between breakfast time and the skeet shoot when you heard Miss Decker scream?" "That's right, I was planning to do some hunting." "What guns did you bring with you?" "A Wesley Richards 12 and 20 gauge, also a Holland and Holland among others, including the usual side arms." "As far as I know, they're tucked away in cargo, per regulations." "I might add, had any one of them been used, including the smallest, the Webley and Scott, it would have blown Vale's head off." "Mr. Morehead, nobody is saying that any of your guns is involved here." "I was anticipating." "Has the death weapon been found?" "No." "Carry on, Mr. Lund." "I expect it was thrown overboard, as would Mr. Vale, if the killer could've managed it." "And why do you say that?" "Well, he was a fairly heavy man." "I know, if I were to kill a man," "I wouldn't leave him lying around to be discovered." "Did you know him?" "No, sir, not at all." "Mr. Morehead, what about the skeet-shooting gun?" "Couldn't that have been used?" "No, I'm afraid not, my dear." "Skeet gun fires buckshot." "Mr. Vale was killed by a bullet." "Mr. Morehead, have you ever been in the army?" "Indeed I have." "World War II and Korea." "How did you serve in Korea?" "Infantry officer, Third Battalion," "Fieldstone Unit, operating out of Chonju." "A ragged time it was." "And when you were there, did you ever hear of the International Brigade?" "I did." "What do you know about it?" "Not very much." "My battalion was just another fighting unit, the International Brigade was very hush-hush and high priority." "You knew this officially?" "No, as rumor." "It was supposed to be a sizeable organization." "Fourteen nations represented in ratio to their Korean commitment." "The United States, Britain, Australia, France, Greece, others." "Do you know any reason, Mr. Morehead, why the War Crimes Commission would be interested in the International Brigade?" "Yes, I do." "Not many people know the Brigade was annihilated on its very first mission." "Oh, there may have been a few survivors." "Obviously there was a leak somewhere."

"You shared your cabin with him." "When was the last time you saw him alive?" "In the cabin, about a half an hour before Miss Decker found him." "Then you were the last one to see him alive." "No, not exactly." "The murderer was." "Uh, no, I didn't hear the shot." "You were on the foredeck just after breakfast, were you not?" "Was I?" "I-I don't remember." "Yes, I saw you from the bridge, just before I went below." "Oh, well, I only stayed for-- For a minute." "I assure you, I did not hear the shot." "And, captain, my hearing is very acute."

"Oh, I never hid those cartridges at all." "What I want to know, captain, is why weren't they found in the shakedown?" "Why weren't they found, Mr. Lund?" "Tell them, Steve." "I asked you a question, Lund." "Lund?" "I never searched her cabin." "Why not?" "Because she's an old friend." "I" " I said I wouldn't bother her." "CAPTAIN:" "You wouldn't bother her?"
