Excerpt from Murder at Sea It was a large hall in a great seaport town At the sides and up and down the middle lay rows of shrouded objects with narrow passages opening between them. The blinds of the long windows had been drawn, the light was dim. From time to time men appeared at one or other of the doors, bearing other objects, which they laid reverently on the floor. No word was spoken, but now and again whispers suggested that orders were being given as to where the objects should be placed. Along the aisles running up and down the hall two old seamen, bent with years, moved without noise, here and there were little groups of people, men and women in the distress of overwhelming sorrow. A shroud would be raised and a hasty, furtive, shrinking glance taken at the features of a man or woman, wax-like and immobile.
