The story

An old wooden-walled warship, HMS "Battledore", has been purchased by a trust for the rehabilitation of young criminals. Shortly after joining the board of the trust, Miss Marple witnesses the sudden death of a fellow trustee, who has just returned from a surprise visit to the ship, much disturbed by something he saw there. He dies without revealing his discovery.
