Episode notes

Inspector Dew boarded the LaurentiC on July 23rd. The earlier arrival time would allow him a day to prepare before Holly Crippen and Ethel Aneeve arrived disguised as father and son. He sent a message to Captain Kendall asking the captain not to tell anyone about the plan. Inspector Dew tried to keep his trip a secret but the press found out and reporters booked their own trips to chase after him.
