 Everybody thought Perlin was still aboard her. Who was aboard her? Mr. Skipper. He came out of it all right. Harbor patrol boat picked him up. Mm-hmm. Go on. Everybody thought Perlin had been aboard as usual and was lost. Skipper wasn't in any shape to tell it differently then. After all, Perlin had been going out on her every day. We all knew that. Where was Perlin? He was sleeping in his room when all this happened. Got up about three o'clock, checked out, took the train back to New York.
