“
A
very
clear
statement
said
Holmes
,
”
rising
and
lighting
his
pipe
.
“
I
think
,
Hopkins
,
that
you
should
lose
no
time
in
conveying
your
prisoner
to
a
place
of
safety
.
This
room
is
not
well
adapted
for
a
cell
,
and
Mr
.
Patrick
Cairns
occupies
too
large
a
proportion
of
our
carpet
.
”
“
Mr
.
Holmes
,
”
said
Hopkins
,
“
I
do
not
know
how
to
express
my
gratitude
.
Even
now
I
do
not
understand
how
you
attained
this
result
.
”
“
Simply
by
having
the
good
fortune
to
get
the
right
clue
from
the
beginning
.
It
is
very
possible
if
I
had
known
about
this
notebook
it
might
have
led
away
my
thoughts
,
as
it
did
yours
.
But
all
I
heard
pointed
in
the
one
direction
.
The
amazing
strength
,
the
skill
in
the
use
of
the
harpoon
,
the
rum
and
water
,
the
sealskin
tobacco
-
pouch
with
the
coarse
tobacco
—
all
these
pointed
to
a
seaman
,
and
one
who
had
been
a
whaler
.
I
was
convinced
that
the
initials
‘
P
.
C
.
’
upon
the
pouch
were
a
coincidence
,
and
not
those
of
Peter
Carey
,
since
he
seldom
smoked
,
and
no
pipe
was
found
in
his
cabin
You
remember
that
I
asked
whether
whisky
and
brandy
were
in
the
cabin
.
You
said
they
were
.
How
many
landsmen
are
there
who
would
drink
rum
when
they
could
get
these
other
spirits
?
Yes
,
I
was
certain
it
was
a
seaman
.
”
“
And
how
did
you
find
him
?
”
“
My
dear
sir
,
the
problem
had
become
a
very
simple
one
.
If
it
were
a
seaman
,
it
could
only
be
a
seaman
who
had
been
with
him
on
the
Sea
Unicorn
.
So
far
as
I
could
learn
he
had
sailed
in
no
other
ship
.
I
spent
three
days
in
wiring
to
Dundee
,
and
at
the
end
of
that
time
I
had
ascertained
the
names
of
the
crew
of
the
Sea
Unicorn
in
1883
.
When
I
found
Patrick
Cairns
among
the
harpooners
,
my
research
was
nearing
its
end
.
I
argued
that
the
man
was
probably
in
London
,
and
that
he
would
desire
to
leave
the
country
for
a
time
.
I
therefore
spent
some
days
in
the
East
End
,
devised
an
Arctic
expedition
,
put
forth
tempting
terms
for
harpooners
who
would
serve
under
Captain
Basil
—
and
behold
the
result
!
”
“
Wonderful
!
”
cried
Hopkins
.
“
Wonderful
!
”
“
You
must
obtain
the
release
of
young
Neligan
as
soon
as
possible
,
”
said
Holmes
.
“
I
confess
that
I
think
you
owe
him
some
apology
.
The
tin
box
must
be
returned
to
him
,
but
,
of
course
,
the
securities
which
Peter
Carey
has
sold
are
lost
forever
.
There
’
s
the
cab
,
Hopkins
,
and
you
can
remove
your
man
.
If
you
want
me
for
the
trial
,
my
address
and
that
of
Watson
will
be
somewhere
in
Norway
—
I
’
ll
send
particulars
later
.
”
It
is
years
since
the
incidents
of
which
I
speak
took
place
,
and
yet
it
is
with
diffidence
that
I
allude
to
them
.
For
a
long
time
,
even
with
the
utmost
discretion
and
reticence
,
it
would
have
been
impossible
to
make
the
facts
public
,
but
now
the
principal
person
concerned
is
beyond
the
reach
of
human
law
,
and
with
due
suppression
the
story
may
be
told
in
such
fashion
as
to
injure
no
one
.
It
records
an
absolutely
unique
experience
in
the
career
both
of
Mr
.
Sherlock
Holmes
and
of
myself
.
The
reader
will
excuse
me
if
I
conceal
the
date
or
any
other
fact
by
which
he
might
trace
the
actual
occurrence
.
We
had
been
out
for
one
of
our
evening
rambles
,
Holmes
and
I
,
and
had
returned
about
six
o
’
clock
on
a
cold
,
frosty
winter
’
s
evening
.
As
Holmes
turned
up
the
lamp
the
light
fell
upon
a
card
on
the
table
.
He
glanced
at
it
,
and
then
,
with
an
ejaculation
of
disgust
,
threw
it
on
the
floor
.
I
picked
it
up
and
read
:
