Maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to dismiss Dr.
Leale's 1909 account that he allowed Keene to do so. Even though it was a long time after, he was 68. By no means an old man. I can't see him adding that due to other accounts when he was actually there and in charge. I also see the route to box factor adding up also. Especially if she was bringing water.
