Conan Doyle's education began in
England, where already In his tenth
year he exhibited a wonderful pre-
cocity for telling stories. But even at
the early age OF six the future novelist
and creator of Sherlock Holmes was
anticipated in a story of terrible adj

foolscap paper, four words to the line,

At Stonyhurst, and also at Field
kirch, in Germany, Doyle's literary
inclination was shown In the editor
ship OF school magazines. In 1876 he
returned to Edinburgh and took I'D
the study Of medicine at the univers-
ity there, where he remained until he
obtained his diploma, five years later.
In 1880 DR.. Doyle left the university
to make seven-months trip to the
Arctic seas as unqualified surgeon on
board a whaler. There was very little
demand for surgery aboard the Hope,
and he has described his chief occu-
patton during the voyage as being en-
ployed in keeping the captain In cut
tobaccD, working in the boats after
fish, and teaching the crew to box.
He utilized his experience later In his
story, "The Captain of the Polester."
Two years later, In 1882, after q
four-months' voyage to the west coast
of Africa, he settled down as med
lcal practitioner at Southsea, In Eng
land, where he remained until 1890.
Those were arduous and trying years,
i'm which he came to regard the calls
of the profession he had adopted as
Interruptions in the real work OF bis
life, and found that the writing of
stories was q very slender prop upon
which to lean for q livelihood. Fifty

says, "did l send out during eight
