(She said the time was approximately early evening—at least neither bright daylight or fully night. The road showed up white. While talking about the statue opposite the row houses, she did not see the statue, she said, but was aware of it nevertheless. She thought the statue might have been on an “island” in the center of the road. She could follow the road around the curves, etc., and saw it in correct perspective as it went up the hill.

(I tried to pin her down on details of the hill, since this would be somewhat unusual on an island like Nassau, which as far as I know is quite low-lying. Neither of us have ever been there. For that matter we do not have Seth’s word for it, in so many words, that the Gallaghers are on Nassau; we surmise this because of what Peggy said last Friday night, October 14.
(The closest Jane could come on the hill details, then, is that it was a longer and gradual incline rather than a short upright climb; and that it raised up perhaps the height of a one-story building in the course of its climb. The best we can say is that this geography sounds possible for those islands.
(Jane emphasized that she knows nothing of the history of the Caribbean islands, or their geography. I have a fair general knowledge, but know little about Nassau in detail, for instance. I am good at map reading, Jane very poor; if the place names were eliminated from a map of the Caribbean, Jane would be unable to fill them in, whereas I could do this easily. On the other hand Jane has an unerring sense of local direction, and mine is not very good.
(Jane said again that although she talked about the statue she never did see it for some reason. But she had images of the row houses behind or beside it. Jane pointed out also that one would expect such dates as she gave in connection with island history in the Caribbean, and that such things as dungeons, galleons, etc., would be involved. The interpretation of much of this data will also depend on what the Gallaghers remember.
