The coroner tries to establish when the signal shared by father and son was heard. A juror then adds a question about what James saw on returning to his father. Some impressions remain in the young man's memory, while other details cannot be stated clearly. The questioning probes the difference between what he remembers and what he can identify.

"The Coroner: I understand that the cry of 'Cooee' was a common signal between you and your father?検視官:『「クーイー」という呼び声は、あなたとお父さんの間で使う合図だったのですね。』
"Witness: It was.証人:『そうです。』
"The Coroner: How was it, then, that he uttered it before he saw you, and before he even knew that you had returned from Bristol?検視官:『それなら、お父さんがあなたを見る前に、しかもあなたがブリストルから戻ったことさえ知る前に、その声を上げたのはなぜですか。』
"Witness (with considerable confusion): I do not know.証人(ひどく当惑して):『分かりません。』
"A Juryman: Did you see nothing which aroused your suspicions when you returned on hearing the cry and found your father fatally injured?陪審員:『叫び声を聞いて戻り、お父さんが致命傷を負っているのを見たとき、疑いを抱かせるものは何も見ませんでしたか。』
"Witness: Nothing definite.証人:『はっきりしたものは何も。』
"The Coroner: What do you mean?検視官:『どういう意味ですか。』
"Witness: I was so disturbed and excited as I rushed out into the open, that I could think of nothing except of my father.証人:『開けた場所へ駆け出たとき、私はあまりに動転して興奮し、父のこと以外は何も考えられませんでした。
Yet I have a vague impression that as I ran forward something lay upon the ground to the left of me.それでも、走って進んだとき、自分の左手の地面に何かがあったという、ぼんやりした印象は残っています。
It seemed to me to be something grey in colour, a coat of some sort, or a plaid perhaps.灰色の何かで、何かの上着か、ひょっとすると格子柄の肩掛けのように思えました。
When I rose from my father I looked round for it, but it was gone.父のそばから立ち上がって、その辺りを探したときには、もうなくなっていました。』
