After repairs were effected tests of the machinery were first made at the docks with the ships lashed to the piers, the propellers being driven at low speed. Later each vessel was taken to sea for vigorous trial tests, and everything was found to be perfectly satisfactory. Indeed, it has been asserted that several knots were added to the best speed that the Vaterland renamed Leviathan ever made.
He was found dead by her side. Then people remembered that she had spoken of someone scaring her by looking in through that small window some nights previously.
