years old, almost daring and successful
seal and whale fisher, has retired and
settled down on small place called
Woodman's Lee. He lives with his wife,
his daughter, and two women servants.
he is gloomy sort Of man, q tiend when
he is drunk. He was known on shipboard

Ne sleeps in n hut near his house,
stonemason passing the place few
nights before had seen shadow on the
window which was not Peters. Several
DAYS later Peter was found killed, pinned
TO the floor of the hut by harpoon which
had been torn down from n rack on the
wall. There was an untouched de-
canter of brandy and whisky on the
chest, and bottle of whisky with
two soiled glasses, also n half-iull
sealskin tobacco pouch with the let
tiers p. G.. on it. Carey seldom smoked.
There was likewise a notebook contain

them c. p. r., which Holmes pointed
out obviously meant Canadian Pacihc

They all went to look at the hut
and found that the lock had been
