She is yelling and pulling a control in the ceiling, possibly sounding the vessel's horn. After the death Senator James B.

The winner of that election would serve out the remaining two years of James Allen's original term; Maryon ran for the seat but lost to fellow Democrat Donald Stewart, who ultimately defeated his Republican opponent to win the seat. |
