The whole conversation was very badly mixed.‘ Both didn't agree on the point of two fellows going over the wharf in the car. .1 think McCoubrcy said the car had gone over the whar-f. Peters said there was nobody in it._ they ihad got out of the car‘ and were on the wharf somewhere. I\Ic-‘ Coubrey wanted us to let. him in.
