spurt of air. “No.”
“Until you find that card, I won’t agree that Jeremiah is the only possible suspect. Will you try to find out if a car owned by someone at the Hathaway house was seen anywhere near Better Tomorrow between two fifteen and the time I called for help?”
He shrugged. “Sure, Annie. Maybe it will set your mind at rest. We’ll make inquiries.”
A nnie called Henny’s cell. She wasn’t surprised when there was no answer. She had no doubt Henny’s cell was with her, but she also had no doubt that Henny was intent upon avoiding Annie. A message would do. Annie glanced at her watch. “Hi, Henny. It’s Annie. It’s almost eleven. I’m calling because I need your help. I’m sure Jeremiah is innocent. I know he ran away, but I have good reason to think someone else was there. I’m afraid it’s up to me now. Billy Cameron is convinced Jeremiah is guilty. I hope you will help me. You know everyone on the island, and I think we could find out a lot. Of course, you may not agree, but if you’re willing to help, please meet me at Parotti’s at noon.” Annie ended the call.
She didn’t want to be prideful, but if that bait didn’t lure her fish, she was going to be surprised.
She gave Agatha a final caress, popped up from the table, and hurried to the back area that was part storeroom, part office. At her computer, she pulled up the

ISLANDER FOUND DEAD NEAR CAPSIZED KAYAK
by Marian Kenyon
Island businessman Everett Hathaway’s body was found Saturday morning floating in Jessop Cove near his overturned kayak. Hathaway, forty-two, an island native, was the managing partner of Hathaway Advertising, a firm founded by his late brother, Edward M. Hathaway II.
Edward M. Hathaway III said his uncle was last seen at dinner Friday evening. He said the family was unaware Everett had taken the kayak out into the Sound and no alarm had been raised. It is not known when Hathaway entered the water. However, the family, after receiving notification of his death, discovered his bed had not been slept in, so the accident apparently occurred Friday night, sometime after nine P.M .
Police Chief Billy Cameron stated that an autopsy will be performed, as required by state law for an unattended death. Cameron said Hathaway’s body was observed at 7:42 A.M . floating in the water about forty yards offshore by Don Thornwall, 146 Herring Gull Road. Thornwall said he was preparing for an early-morning row. Thornwall immediately notified island police, then rowed out into the cove. As he neared the body, he saw an overturned kayak. Thornwall determined that the victim was no longer living. He remained near the body to await police.
Sgt. Hyla Harrison and Sgt. Lou Pirelli arrived in the police motorboat at 8:02 A.M . The officers pulled Hathaway into the boat and determined that he was dead. Sergeant Pirelli reported there were no signs of trauma to the body and the death was assumed to be accidental.
Police revealed that Hathaway was wearing a life vest but theorized that he lost consciousness because of hypothermia, his face fell into the water, and he drowned.
Edward Hathaway III said his uncle was not a kayak enthusiast and did not kayak daily. Hathaway expressed surprise at his uncle’s evening excursion and said he had not heard his uncle mention kayaking since summer.
Family members include Hathaway’s widow, Nicole Nelson Hathaway, his nephew, Edward M. Hathaway III, and niece, Leslie Hathaway Griffin.
The second story was brief.
