Latham, the man who had originally reserved this stateroom, had discovered that an associate, with a name that sounded like Yatzee or Yahoo, was really working for The Other Side. (This sounds like espionage!)

So, Latham kills Yahoo, in his apartment, I gather, hides him in a trunk, temporarily, and goes out (who knows why? Ran out of smokes?), where he is abducted from off the street, and probably tortured to hand over It (something he might have memorized?), and then he’s shot in the head—by The Other Side—and dumped in the river.

Meanwhile, The Other Side doesn’t know that Latham killed Yahoo, and that Yahoo’s body is in a trunk in Latham’s apartment. And before The Other Side can conduct a search for It at Latham’s place, the luggage and The Trunk containing Yahoo’s body (which Latham never had a chance to dispose of because he got picked up on the street), is taken, by prearrangement, to the ship.

Now, there must have been a plan to ensure Latham was killed. If they didn’t get him before he sailed, their confederate would kill him aboard ship—hence, the poisoned fruit—and then search for It, hidden among Latham’s things. But, the person working for The Other Side who was travelling aboard ship didn’t know that Yahoo and Latham were killed. Problem is, everything went wrong: The on-board confederate apparently wasn’t informed of Latham’s murder, or assumed Mr. Benchley was either Latham or Latham’s replacement.

To sum up, Latham’s dead; Yahoo was the man in the trunk; there are bad guys and good guys on board ship; I have no idea what It is, or whether It has been found or went swimming with the fishes.

—Dorothy Parker

P.S. They said they need a new plan.
