with evidence of some kind.

The inventory.
:45:12
This? From the Tecora?
:45:15
If you look, there's
a notation made on May 10,

:45:19
correcting the number of slaves on
board, reducing their number by 50.

:45:23
What does that mean?
:45:25
If you look at it in conjunction
with Cinque's testimony,

:45:29
I would say that it means this:
:45:31
The crew greatly underestimated
:45:33
the amount of provisions
required for their journey,

:45:36
and solved the problem
by throwing 50 people overboard.

:46:26
I'm looking at
the inventory, Captain,

:46:28
and I'm sorry, I don't
see where it says,

:46:31
"This morning, we threw
50 slaves overboard."

:46:34
On May 10 or any other day.
:46:36
As of course you would not.
:46:51
I do see that
the cargo weight changed.

:46:54
They reduced the poundage,
I see, but that is all.
