The prosecution would like to call
Ensign Willis Stewart Keith.
3:29:16
Were you the officer of the deck
on the DMS Caine on July 31?
3:29:23
Was the captain relieved of command
by Mr Maryk during that watch?
3:29:28
Do you know why Mr Maryk
took the action that he did?
3:29:33
The ship was in imminent danger
of foundering.
3:29:37
- You've been in a foundering ship?
- No, sir.
3:29:41
- When did you join the Navy?
- A little over a year ago.
3:29:46
Do you know how long
Lt. Commander Queeg served at sea?
3:29:50
- No.
- Queeg has served over eight years.
3:29:55
Which of you is better at judging
if a ship is foundering?
3:29:59
Myself. When I am in possession of
my faculties and Queeg is not.
3:30:06
Describe this loss of faculties. Did
Queeg rave or make insane gestures?
3:30:14
No, sir.
3:30:17
After being relieved,
did he go crazy?
3:30:20
He was never wild or raving. There
are other forms of mental illness.
3:30:26
Thank you for your expert opinion.
3:30:29
Queeg has been found rational
by three psychiatrists.
3:30:33
They weren't there during the storm.
3:30:36
- Did you like the captain?
- At first I did.
3:30:43
I thought he was incompetent and
unfair. He rode the men too hard.
3:30:50
- Yourself included?
- Yes, sir.
3:30:53
- You ended up hating Captain Queeg?
- Yes, sir.
3:30:58
Let's come to
the morning of 31 July.
