Mr. Hewett: Isn't that a place where sailors go to gamble and spend their money?
A. No.

A. Yes.
His Excellency (to Mr. Guterres): Have you any questions?
Mr. Guterres: I believe this is the man who presented the wages account, and not Chok Fu at all. It was some man like him, a short man.

A. He does.
His Excellency: You told us the man was old and short.
