room to match the antiquated form
of the Indictment, which used to car

hanging on a public gallows. Skip
per and son were permitted to leave
the dock, however, and take seats
beside their counsel when Campbell
began his testimony.
After reciting how the lure OF the
sea had drawn him from his studies
and led him to embark with Skipper
Petersen at Victoria, b. c., as cabin
boy, Campbell was asked to reclte
what happened on board the bark
Puako on the morning of August 8,
1918, as the little vessel clipped
through the waves with all sails set
for Cape Town, South Africa.

and 1oosened the sail. He then came
down and l saw him talking to the
mate.
Suddenly I heard a sharp sound
as of one man slapping another's
face. Then l saw the mate strike and
kick Hansen, and Hansen came rae
ing down the deck with the mate
close behind him. When he got to the
