I looked at the list of the passengers’ names – there was one name on
the list that I knew – Cornelius Wyatt. So I went to the shipping
office and I looked at the list. Cornelius was an artist. He painted
pictures. I heard from friend that he had married a beautiful and
charming young woman. I wanted to meet Mrs Wyatt. I had never
seen her.I was very glad to see Cornelius, bu he didn’t. He didn’t
want to speak to me and he locked at his room.Cornelius arrived to
ship with his wife and sister, but he also booked a third room, where
he put some oblong box.What is in this strange oblong box? Why
Cornelius behaves so bad?
