Nubo PD: The Oblong Box

There was another circumstance, too, which interested me much.

During the two wakeful nights in question, and immediately after the

disappearance of Mrs. Wyatt into the extra state-room, I was attracted

by certain singular cautious, subdued noises in that of her husband.

After listening to them for some time, with thoughtful attention, I at

length succeeded perfectly in translating their import. They were

sounds occasioned by the artist in prying open the oblong box, by

means of a chisel and mallet- the latter being apparently muffled,

or deadened, by some soft woollen or cotton substance in which its

head was enveloped.
