Yes, apparently, he was the last 221 00:12:08,724 --> 00:12:12,275 person to see bosinney alive. What? 222 00:12:12,308 --> 00:12:13,602 Yes, he found him wandering about in the fog. 223 00:12:13,603 --> 00:12:16,610 At first cousin george thought that the buccaneer was drunk. 224 00:12:16,620 --> 00:12:19,536 He was weaving all over the place, 225 00:12:19,546 --> 00:12:20,940 didn't seem to care what was happening to him. 226 00:12:20,941 --> 00:12:23,650 He was talking a lot too. "Babbling", as george called it. 227 00:12:23,669 --> 00:12:27,412 But he heard enough to understan 228 00:12:27,442 --> 00:12:28,536 what the poor devil was going through. 229 00:12:28,537 --> 00:12:30,429 Apparently irene had just told him something 230 00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:32,431 which had driven him out of his mind. 231 00:12:32,441 --> 00:12:35,935 It appears the night before soames had decided to exercise 232 00:12:35,970 --> 00:12:39,619 his rights as a husband, 233 00:12:39,654 --> 00:12:39,945 irene resisted, 234 00:12:39,946 --> 00:12:43,581 and soames used force. 235 00:12:43,616 --> 00:12:47,215 But that's barbarous. 236 00:12:47,225 --> 00:12:50,232 I refuse to believe it. 237 00:12:50,271 --> 00:12:53,518 George was positive, father.
