Colonel Race is the next of kin to Sir Lawrence Eardsley who has recently died. Anne recognises Harry Rayburn as the man who came into her cabin. Harry Rayburn is one of Sir Eustace Pedler's secretaries.

Answer: A blank piece of paper

Anne and Mrs Blair examine the piece of paper, which belonged to the man who died. Mrs Blair remembers a mysterious incident that happened the same night as when Rayburn came to Anne's cabin. She had lost a roll of film, and somebody had pushed a roll of film (in a tin) into her room at 1:00 a.m.

When they open the tin there are diamonds inside. The man who asked Pedler to take the document, and who suggested hiring Rayburn, knows nothing of Rayburn at all. Rayburn has now disappeared.
