Ethel Le Neve enjoys the Montrose in disguise while Captain Kendall attempts to confirm his suspicions about the odd father-son duo. The captain knows he must use his wireless soon, or he’ll be out of range.

Many false reports about Crippen and Le Neve reach New Scotland Yard. In Bourges, a woman fitting Le Neve’s description commits suicide in a hotel room, and police believe they have found the much sought-after typist from London.

On the Montrose, Captain Kendall continues his investigation. Finally convinced, he sends a wireless to his superiors after leaving the English Channel. He does not know if it is received.
