DUDLEY POPE

 

 

‘The Evidence saw a great quantity of blood in
the Cabin window and at the afterhatch leading
from the Gun Room. He heard repeated groans
and screeches from the officers…

‘There was only one woman on board,
the Boatswain’s wife…

‘The HERMIONE is painted black with white
mouldings’.
