The Four Hundred Litres
Punta Grulla lighthouse, refuelling day. The generator tank was filled nine days ago with a thousand litres, enough for five weeks of watch, and the engine log signs for it with an hour and a witness. Today the gauge reads four hundred litres below where it should be, there is no leak on the floor and no stain on the rock, and the supply boat has not tied up since.
Exactly 2 of the 7 are lying

Me? I was in the store room. I could see the shed, and there was one person there. I saw Dolores over in the shed.

The store room is where I was. With me was Petra. Where Eustace was is the shed.
♀Julitta
Postwoman from the headland
Me? I was in the shed.
♂Eustace

I never left the jetty. In the shed, which I could see from my spot, there was one person. Perpetua was with me, in my very room.
♀Petra
Radio telegraphist
Me? I was in the kitchen. Constance is not lying.
♀Constance

The jetty is where I was. What Julitta is telling you is a lie. Eustace was with me, in my very room.
♀Perpetua
