Screaming
| Морской словарь |
“you’ll suffer for this treachery sir! you’ll soon join me in hell.” four years later, kendall was in command of empress of ireland when she was rammed and foundered at almost exactly the place where crippen had been arrested. the superstitious believed the curse had been fulfilled. but it had been against the captain rather than his ship, and he survived to the ripe old age of 91. *crippen eventually went to the gallows, but was probably unjustly convicted. in 2008, almost a century later, american forensic toxicologist john harris trestrail and associates, using modern techniques that include mitochondrial dna, have shown that the “wife’s” body parts were actually those of a male, unrelated to crippen, allegedly planted by the police to secure conviction of the man they believed guilty.
