simply by having the good fortune
to get the right elew from the begin
ming. 1t is very possible if | had
known about this notebook it might
have led away my thoughts, as it did
yours. But all | heard pointed in the
one direction. The amazing strength,
the skill in the use of the harpoon, the
rum and water, the sealskin tobacco

these pointed to seaman and one
who had been Il whaler. | was CON
WINGED that the initials p c. upon the
pouch We're Il coincidence and not
those of Peter Carey. since. he seldom
smoked and no pipe was found in his
cabin. You remember that l asked
whether whisky and brandy were in
the cabin. You said they We're How
many landsmen are there who would
drink rum when they could get these
other spirits? Yes, | was certain it
was Il seaman"
And how did you find him."
''My dear sir. the problem had be-
come very simple one If it were
seaman it could only be a seaman who
had been with him on the Sea Unicorn.
So far as | could learn he had sailed
in no other ship. | spent three days in
wiring to Dundee, and at the end of
that time | had ascertained the names
of the crew of the Sea Unicorn in 1888.
When | found Patrick Cairns among
the harpooners my research was near
ing its end. argued that the man
was probably in London and that he
would desire to leave the country for
time. l therefore spent some days
in the east end, devised an arctic eX-
petition. put forth tempting terms for
harpooners who would serve under
Captain BaSil-and behold the result"
"Wonderfulw cried Hopkins. won
derful"
You must obtain the release of
young Neligan as soon as possible"
said Holmes Il confess that | think
you owe him some apology. The tin
box must be returned to him; but, of
course, the securities which Peter Ca
rey 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"

Tomorrow trust that we shall hear
the last of it forever"
Sharp at the hour named Inspector
Stanley Hopkins appeared, and we sat
down together to the excellent break
fast which Mrs. Hudson had prepared.
The young detective was in high spir-
its at his success.
you really think that your solution
must be correct?' asked Holmes.
Il could not imagine more complete
case"
1T did not seem to me conclusive"
you astonish me, Mr.. Holmes.
What more could one ask for?"
Does your explanation cover every
point?"
Undoubtedly. l find that young Nell
gan arrived at the Brambletye hotel on
the very day of the crime He came on
the pretense of playing golf. His room
was on the ground floor. and he could
get out when he liked. That very night
he went down to Woodman's Lee, saw
Peter Carey at the hut, quarreled with
him and killed him with the harpoon.
Then, Mortified by what he had done,
he fled out of the hut, dropping the
notebook which he had brought with
him in order to question Peter Carey
about these different securities. You
may have observed that some of them
were marked with ticks and the others
the great maiority-were not. Those
which are licked have been traced on
the London market, but the others pre-
sumably We're still in the possession of
Carey, and young Neligan, according to
his own account, was anxious to recov-
er them in order to do the right thing
by his fathers creditors. After his
flight he did not dare to approach the
hut again for some time. but at last he
forced himself to do so in order to OBJ
tain the information which he needed
Surely that is all simple and obvious?"
Holmes smiled and shook his head.
ut seems to me to have only one
drawback, Hopkins, and that is that it
is intrinsically impossible. Have you
tried to drive a harpoon through
body? No? Tut, tut my dear sir, you
must really pay attention to these de-
tails. My friend Watson could tell you
that | spent a whole morning in that
quires strong and practiced arm But
this blow was delivered with such vio-
