II have a few dates which will
give you the career of the dead man.
Captain Peter Carey. He was born in
'45-fifty years of age. He was a most
daring and successful seal and whale
fisher. In 1888 he commanded the
steam sealer Sea Unicorn. of Dundee.
He had then had several successful
voyages in succession, and in the fol-
lowing year, 1884. he retired. After
that he travelled for some years, and
finally he bought small place called
Woodlands Lee. near Forest Row. in
Sussex There he has lived for six
years, and there he died just week
ago today.
"There were some most singular
points about the man. In ordinary
life, he was a strict Puritan-a silent.

twenty, and two female servants.

the whole village outside the gates
was aroused by their screams.
"He was summoned once for q saw

Mr.. Holmes, you would go far before
you found more dangerous man than
Peter Carey. and have heard that he
bore the same character when he COM
manded his ship. He was known in
the trade as Black Peter and the
name was given him, not only on ac-
count of his swarthy features and the
colcr of his huge beard but for the
humours which were the terror of all
around him. / need not say that he
was loathed and avoided by every one
of his neighbors. and that have not
heard one single word of sorrow about
his terrible end.
"You must have read in the ac-
count of the inquest about the mans

were covered by curtains and never

turned towards the high road. and
when the light burned in it at night
the folk used to point it out to each
other and wonder what Black Peter
was doing in there. That's the Win

of the few bits of positive evidence
that came out at the inquest.

evening, he went down to his own
hut. About two o'clock the following
morning, his daughter, who slept with
her window open heard a most fear
full yell from that direction, but it was
no unusual thing for him to bawl and
shout when he was in drink. so no
notice was taken. On rising at seven.
one of the maids noticed that the door
of the hut was open. but SO great was
the terror which the man caused that
it was midday before anyone would
venture down to see what had become
of him. Peeping into the open door.
they saw a sight which sent them fiv-

Within an hour, was on the spot and
had taken over the case.
"Well. I have fairly steady nerves.

you my word, that l got a shake when
