Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson, just what was the Island of the Dead.
- 0:06Speaker 2: An incredibly ghastly spot, mister hens Forsaken uninhabited was the
- 0:12Speaker 2: extreme southeastern end of the channel out of Phelp. In
- 0:16Speaker 2: eighteen ninety ninron, a young lad named Jim Saunders and
- 0:19Speaker 2: his bride Peg were sailing on a honeymoon boyage. There
- 0:23Speaker 2: was Jim, Peg and Jim's man, a Chinese Lindsey Fat,
- 0:27Speaker 2: who cooked, helped to handle the trim little sailing boat,
- 0:31Speaker 2: and occasionally provided entertainment by singing enchanting crews until Jim
- 0:37Speaker 2: and Peg.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Sighted the island.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Curious, they anchored off the beach and went ashore, not
- 0:44Speaker 2: realizing that they were.
- 0:45Speaker 3: On the Island of the dead.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Why don't Divinelynn didn't come along with a Jim or
- 0:58Speaker 4: he'll be along in a while, Peg, Darling, he's polishing
- 1:01Speaker 4: the brass again.
- 1:02Speaker 5: He wants it to shine under that wonderful room. Oh, darling,
- 1:05Speaker 5: he's an angel. It's a little strange beach.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Why do you say that, those reefs like huge doors
- 1:12Speaker 4: reaching into the sea, those weird rock formations, the no
- 1:17Speaker 4: pettifized tree, it's unearthly, Darling.
- 1:20Speaker 5: Today we were on another planet.
- 1:22Speaker 4: Do you suppose anyone's on the dining for no Peg, Darling,
- 1:25Speaker 4: It's impossible.
- 1:26Speaker 5: It's completely abandoned. So we walk down the beach. No, no,
- 1:29Speaker 5: let's let's go in. Oh, let's just walk a bit
- 1:33Speaker 5: into Peg.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Probably no human beings here before a decade.
- 1:37Speaker 5: Who knows, we'll we'll discover something. Let's stop here, Jim,
- 1:41Speaker 5: and just stroll on the beach frightened. Oh, come, come,
- 1:47Speaker 5: let's have a look about him. So steady, don't don't
- 1:50Speaker 5: follow these locks, please, Jim. Let's go back to the ship, Darling,
- 1:53Speaker 5: don't be absurd.
- 1:56Speaker 6: What's that where?
- 1:59Speaker 5: Then it's a skull?
- 2:02Speaker 3: Assuming skull?
- 2:03Speaker 7: Oh, Jim, I going back to say about this instant
- 2:05Speaker 7: I knew there was something awful about his island.
- 2:07Speaker 5: Reason to be frightened.
- 2:10Speaker 4: This is probably just a skull of an old sailor
- 2:13Speaker 4: ship like here, centuries ago.
- 2:15Speaker 5: Probably, but we can't be sure.
- 2:16Speaker 4: But Peg will never be here again. Very few people
- 2:20Speaker 4: have an opportunity to see an either like this.
- 2:22Speaker 5: I haven't you an adventurous spirit?
- 2:25Speaker 1: Oh?
- 2:25Speaker 5: Come on, well, what what's that bush?
- 2:29Speaker 8: That's their?
- 2:31Speaker 5: Wait?
- 2:33Speaker 4: You hear something? Yes? Sound to deserve someone behind it?
- 2:38Speaker 4: He couldn't be land. He wouldn't steal about like that.
- 2:44Speaker 6: Who's there? Who's there?
- 2:51Speaker 5: Probably probably just just our imagination.
- 2:55Speaker 4: I don't care what you say.
- 2:56Speaker 5: We're going back to ship. Hold right if you insisted.
- 3:00Speaker 5: Now under that tree it looks like another.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Human skull it is, get in, Come on, run back.
- 3:11Speaker 5: To the ship. Comly, think, calmly, give give me your hand,
- 3:14Speaker 5: will look back.
- 3:16Speaker 8: I hardly think so.
- 3:17Speaker 4: But where did you come from?
- 3:21Speaker 8: Jim?
- 3:22Speaker 5: Who are you?
- 3:23Speaker 8: The name is Cavendish, yours.
- 3:27Speaker 5: Saunders were We're mister and James Sanders.
- 3:30Speaker 7: I'm obliged to have furthering it aboard my ship, your ship.
- 3:34Speaker 7: I don't see anything, thank it on the other side
- 3:36Speaker 7: of the island.
- 3:37Speaker 8: It's not visible from this point.
- 3:39Speaker 5: Put that rebothered down and get out of here. We're
- 3:44Speaker 5: going back to our own Answer my question.
- 3:47Speaker 8: What are you doing on the island, just.
- 3:50Speaker 4: Scouting about with We're on our honeymoon.
- 3:53Speaker 5: We saw the island, wondered.
- 3:54Speaker 8: About it, you were, We're not tent here.
- 3:58Speaker 7: You see, there is the possible it is that you
- 4:01Speaker 7: were than to investigate that this is a rust. It
- 4:04Speaker 7: is also the fact that were I to allow you
- 4:08Speaker 7: to leave the island, it might very well report my
- 4:11Speaker 7: presence here. In another moment you would have sighted my ship.
- 4:16Speaker 8: Walk along past that great rock. I shall walk behind you.
- 4:23Speaker 6: But who are you?
- 4:25Speaker 5: What in the world are you up to?
- 4:26Speaker 8: All in good time, ma'am.
- 4:29Speaker 7: It is the island of the dead. It is my island,
- 4:35Speaker 7: the skulls and bones of Lord. Don't how many men
- 4:38Speaker 7: form a huge mountain of.
- 4:39Speaker 8: Decay and death upon these desolate shores?
- 4:44Speaker 5: You still have an answered our question? What is this
- 4:47Speaker 5: all about? Why can't it return of our own ship?
- 4:52Speaker 5: Who are the dead men?
- 4:55Speaker 7: The identity of the dead? Relationshouln't met at Utah. There
- 4:59Speaker 7: is short say when I'm ready, sat Tail, you and your.
- 5:03Speaker 8: Wife will be joining.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Them by John has this as a sort of evening
- 5:22Speaker 2: here Bigger Street and I relish a fire crackling merry.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Lay along any good time for me to browse through
- 5:29Speaker 2: my medical.
- 5:29Speaker 4: Text and for me to rummage about in the archives
- 5:31Speaker 4: of crime they want to. I regret that your tranquility
- 5:35Speaker 4: is about to be disturbed. Yes, on our stairways, that
- 5:38Speaker 4: are the steady, distinctive steps of a certain determined gentleman.
- 5:42Speaker 4: They are the clumsy feet of the blow. In short,
- 5:44Speaker 4: our mutual acquaintance inspect of a stride of Scotland Yard.
- 5:48Speaker 4: You will now paused for a moment to regain his breath.
- 5:51Speaker 4: You will then assume his most authoritative air and knock
- 5:56Speaker 4: astral is of that tiresome breed of humanity that's always predictable.
- 6:00Speaker 3: I'll answer it well, the evening and speculus.
- 6:04Speaker 8: Ride, doctor Watton Lestrad.
- 6:07Speaker 4: Aside to the factors who traveled here via the underground,
- 6:09Speaker 4: that you had luncheon at the Criterion bar, if you
- 6:12Speaker 4: haven't been the scupping yard at some time, what additional
- 6:14Speaker 4: information have you for me?
- 6:16Speaker 3: How do you arrive at those conclusions?
- 6:18Speaker 4: Because my dear Watson in his left hand Mustrade carries
- 6:21Speaker 4: a variety of sweet soul only in the underground. Upon
- 6:24Speaker 4: his shoes are white markings, clearly made by a lime wash.
- 6:27Speaker 4: The Criterion's repairing its main entrance with the wash, and
- 6:30Speaker 4: Lestrade has managed to step into it. There's also a
- 6:33Speaker 4: button missing from the sleeve of his jacket. He would
- 6:35Speaker 4: never appear at the yard and risk censure without being replaced. Therefore,
- 6:39Speaker 4: he has not been to the yards at some time.
- 6:42Speaker 9: I hope, Paul is that this dazzling display of your
- 6:46Speaker 9: brilliance will not be dimmed by the problem I'm about
- 6:49Speaker 9: to present.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Most unlikely, my dear lestrande, most unlikely.
- 6:53Speaker 8: Hello him.
- 6:54Speaker 9: There's a young couple at Jim Saunders and his bride Peg.
- 6:57Speaker 9: Mister Saunders is the son of Henry Saunders father.
- 7:00Speaker 4: He is an extremely wealthy collier, owns and operates. Mind
- 7:03Speaker 4: if you com.
- 7:04Speaker 9: Yes, Young Jim and his bride set sail from palmerth
- 7:07Speaker 9: on their honeymoon along with a Chinese.
- 7:09Speaker 8: Cook, Linsey Fangs.
- 7:12Speaker 9: They promised to return shortly, but they finished precisely.
- 7:16Speaker 4: I presume you've examined the weather reports in that area.
- 7:18Speaker 4: I have.
- 7:19Speaker 5: The sea's been very calm. They they couldn't have been
- 7:21Speaker 5: shipwrecked by a storm.
- 7:22Speaker 9: Well, she's sturdy boat, in perfect condition, doctor Watson. This
- 7:26Speaker 9: was a maiden boy. Young Saunders purchased the boat just
- 7:29Speaker 9: before the west. Now the eldest Saunders is a good
- 7:32Speaker 9: deal of.
- 7:32Speaker 3: A pasva did he's worried.
- 7:34Speaker 9: He's also rather powerful politically. He turned the yard upside down,
- 7:38Speaker 9: demanding an explanation.
- 7:40Speaker 4: How the couples were about? Did you telegraph an inquire
- 7:42Speaker 4: it to the French coast for stron I did, and.
- 7:45Speaker 9: Every village along our coast where they might have put him.
- 7:47Speaker 4: And there's no time of them I see.
- 7:49Speaker 9: But the small vessel they couldn't couldn't possibly have sailed
- 7:52Speaker 9: very far, but confounded, they couldn't simply disappeared to the
- 7:55Speaker 9: thin age.
- 7:56Speaker 4: It's the most most fantastic ribble. And knowing that I
- 7:59Speaker 4: have maternal fascination for the inscrutable, you've decided to consult
- 8:03Speaker 4: me in the hope of tracking down mister and missus
- 8:05Speaker 4: Saunders before the elder Saunders caused his heads to fall
- 8:09Speaker 4: at the yard at that crude way of putting it home.
- 8:12Speaker 5: But you have an extensive file on battling cases.
- 8:15Speaker 9: I thought that there might be some president that's perhaps
- 8:18Speaker 9: you the suggestion.
- 8:19Speaker 4: I have a suggestion, Lestrand, what is it? Hot speculations
- 8:22Speaker 4: so early in the game, Waston, it is useless. We
- 8:24Speaker 4: have need of facts since the ship was last seen
- 8:27Speaker 4: sailing from a certain point. I suggest we'd a part
- 8:30Speaker 4: before that port of media. Fair quickly, gentlemen, the count.
- 8:47Speaker 9: Arms, I venture to say, you've led us on a
- 8:49Speaker 9: fruitless of a third journey. We've learned nothing new in
- 8:52Speaker 9: Vorma Barber.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Mastrada's Greg Holmes. We've spoken to the villagers They simply
- 8:56Speaker 2: confirmed that the young couple sailed from here. Now riding
- 9:00Speaker 2: out in the harbor, and this police launch.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Shivering in this sill of cold night. It's pointless.
- 9:05Speaker 4: I persist, gentlemen, that since mister and missus Saunders disappeared
- 9:07Speaker 4: from this harbor, these quarters will eventually produce evidence, However,
- 9:11Speaker 4: flimsey that will ultimately explain the mystery. One solves the
- 9:14Speaker 4: crime of the scene of it. Look there through the
- 9:19Speaker 4: midst of the pot files.
- 9:21Speaker 3: The tailboats must be amed mist of you. She's sick
- 9:24Speaker 3: zagging all over the place.
- 9:25Speaker 5: If you may own one.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Boat, it is oh dash, I tell it, constable to.
- 9:30Speaker 5: See a closer to it.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Curse the man cursion to that sailboat.
- 9:33Speaker 5: That's tart.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Comparing the silhouette of that sale boat with the photograph shown
- 9:37Speaker 4: to what just recently, I should say, the ship's belonging
- 9:40Speaker 4: to the young Saunders.
- 9:41Speaker 3: It is we found them half we found them.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Were premature celebrations. Obviously all is not well about that boat.
- 9:47Speaker 4: We're approaching, not under control.
- 9:48Speaker 9: We have signals of them, the lantern signal that boat
- 9:51Speaker 9: with our lantern comfortable, very big, we'll here they are.
- 9:57Speaker 3: This must be something wrong. And not showing any lights.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Wa well here there.
- 10:03Speaker 8: No no at all.
- 10:05Speaker 9: That's both lurching battles and aims.
- 10:08Speaker 4: The boat brung Alea noticed poscribe a dent in the
- 10:12Speaker 4: prow put alongside of her the jump aboard, and I suggested,
- 10:15Speaker 4: be done with grig feet him too.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Will border.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Can you get over that real home?
- 10:32Speaker 4: I'm over wat them.
- 10:33Speaker 3: I'm with you. I'll just jump to the dick.
- 10:36Speaker 4: So come along, homes.
- 10:37Speaker 5: We will talk to that capital wheel him.
- 10:39Speaker 3: God be alone afore this vote can hello hello there.
- 10:44Speaker 5: To a board.
- 10:46Speaker 8: I should see.
- 10:47Speaker 4: Gentlemen, we did not receive an answer to our signal
- 10:50Speaker 4: because the man at the wheel is utterly incapable of
- 10:52Speaker 4: answering anything whatsoever. It's Saunders servant, the Chinese Linsey.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Fangs's instead the best.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Yes, if your young couple's still the liveless part. They're
- 11:06Speaker 4: in mortal dangers. They've lost their boots. Their pilot stammings alone,
- 11:11Speaker 4: dead up to his boots, in his own blood, flashed
- 11:13Speaker 4: to his wheels, and sailing the seven seas.
- 11:27Speaker 1: There's something else you should know about clipper craft, mister Barons.
- 11:30Speaker 10: What else I already know that more than twelve hundred
- 11:33Speaker 10: fine independent stores from coast to coast concentrate their purchasing power.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Or simply unbelievable savings in production and distribution so that.
- 11:42Speaker 10: It costs me only forty to forty seven fifty for
- 11:45Speaker 10: a fine topcoat or overcoat with the famous clipper Craft label.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Well, not only that, mister barons listen. Clipper Craft's handsome
- 11:52Speaker 1: new zipper lining top coats are a sensation. So expensive looking,
- 11:57Speaker 1: yet so inexpensive.
- 11:58Speaker 3: That's for me.
- 11:59Speaker 1: That's why men who know insist on Clippercraft clothes bearing
- 12:02Speaker 1: the clipper Craft labels. So be sure to visit the
- 12:05Speaker 1: clipper Craft store in your city.
- 12:08Speaker 11: These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
- 12:11Speaker 11: add their names to clipper Crafts and your suits, top
- 12:14Speaker 11: coats and overcoats. In Manhattan Back thirty fourth Broadway at

- 12:29Speaker 11: in Jamaica, the B and B Clothes Shop one sixty
- 12:32Speaker 11: four oh eight Jamaica Avenue.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Doctor Watson, We're impatient to learn what mister Holmes did
- 12:45Speaker 1: after discovering the body of the dead Chinese lashed to
- 12:47Speaker 1: the wheel of Young saunders ship.
- 12:51Speaker 3: You will recall mister Harris.
- 12:52Speaker 2: At meantime, Young Saunders and his brideware on the island,
- 12:56Speaker 2: the prisoners of a burlish stranger in Cavendish who flitten
- 12:59Speaker 2: to kill. Of course, we knew nothing of this. Aboard
- 13:03Speaker 2: Saunders's boat, which homes the Stradoni had found in the
- 13:06Speaker 2: Sea of Foulmouth. The three of us held a council
- 13:09Speaker 2: in the capital.
- 13:16Speaker 3: The must have made harms that we're done Withn't.
- 13:19Speaker 9: A scrap of evidence aboard this boat is to weare
- 13:21Speaker 9: Gnsanders and his bride of disappeared.
- 13:24Speaker 4: I begged to defer Lestrade. One couldn't have a clearer
- 13:26Speaker 4: picture unless one were presented with a detailed map of
- 13:29Speaker 4: how to find their whereabouts?
- 13:30Speaker 2: Then where are the homes? With the entire ocean before us?
- 13:33Speaker 2: I can't conceive of how we shall find them.
- 13:35Speaker 4: Lestrad informed a Swatson that the boat was new, this
- 13:37Speaker 4: was her maiden voyage. Yet the prow is dented Indupiter
- 13:41Speaker 4: there therefore, this was due to the boats striking a
- 13:43Speaker 4: rock or other impediment during this initial trip. In short,
- 13:47Speaker 4: Saunders and his bride did reach land. But since the
- 13:50Speaker 4: Saunder's couple did not reach the French coast, as the
- 13:52Speaker 4: Strand told us, then they probably landed on some uninhabited island.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Very good homes. But wherein this var sea is that island?
- 14:00Speaker 4: You remember that I examined the body of the dead Chinese.
- 14:02Speaker 9: The Chinese stab was a long night, half a dozen times.
- 14:05Speaker 5: But beyond that.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Beyond that is the fact that rigor mortifs, which ordinarily
- 14:09Speaker 4: sets in within two to four hours after depth has
- 14:12Speaker 4: not begun, rigor was set in even more quickly in
- 14:15Speaker 4: this instance due to the extreme cold. Post mortem libidity
- 14:18Speaker 4: adds to the authenticity of our conclusions. Although the corpse
- 14:22Speaker 4: was erect and blood was streaming from the wounds, complete
- 14:25Speaker 4: post mortem libidity has not developed. These two observations signifies
- 14:29Speaker 4: that the Chinese was murdered within the past few hours,
- 14:32Speaker 4: perhaps within a shorter time.
- 14:33Speaker 3: The island homes Where is the island?
- 14:36Speaker 4: To answer that question, Watson, we now acquire these dividers,
- 14:40Speaker 4: this chart of the seas on this table and a pencil.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Now we assume that the average speed of the ship
- 14:49Speaker 4: is approximately six knots. We observed the wind is north
- 14:53Speaker 4: by northeast. If we draw a circle based upon these thanks,
- 14:58Speaker 4: with its center at our present location, we have a
- 15:01Speaker 4: perfect indication of approximate at the point where this both
- 15:04Speaker 4: want within the past two hours.
- 15:05Speaker 3: That's amazing, it's amazing. Shall we proceed.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Immediately want them.
- 15:08Speaker 9: I'll give you a hand of the sales targ to
- 15:10Speaker 9: watch them and sell you at the wheel here said
- 15:11Speaker 9: boy and girl may still be alive, though there's no
- 15:13Speaker 9: telling what sort of hell is mess they're in.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Hurry man, every stitch to the wind.
- 15:29Speaker 7: Is see that, mister Saunders, missus Saunders, I believe you'll
- 15:33Speaker 7: find my cabin quite comfortable. Wine rum, you have a
- 15:37Speaker 7: favorite refreshment?
- 15:38Speaker 5: No cavin should the most outrage.
- 15:40Speaker 8: You're Protestant.
- 15:42Speaker 7: No available Sordiers were the only persons within many miles
- 15:46Speaker 7: of this island, and I have plenty.
- 15:47Speaker 8: Of bullets in this gun.
- 15:50Speaker 7: My crew has gone after your ship to do away
- 15:53Speaker 7: with your Chinese deckhands. As soon as they informed me
- 15:56Speaker 7: that he'd sailed off for.
- 15:57Speaker 8: Help, I dispatched them.
- 15:59Speaker 7: Must have said, say when you fail to return, my
- 16:02Speaker 7: crew will pick up the supplies we require in Falma
- 16:06Speaker 7: and returned shortly.
- 16:07Speaker 5: What is this all about?
- 16:10Speaker 7: This island is a priceless rendezvous for me, Saunders. I
- 16:15Speaker 7: do not intend to have it publicized.
- 16:18Speaker 6: But who are you?
- 16:20Speaker 8: Cavendish? Is the name, sir?
- 16:23Speaker 7: I am a descendant of Cavendish the pirate. Do you
- 16:27Speaker 7: recognize the name of that connection, Yes.
- 16:29Speaker 5: Yes, I do.
- 16:31Speaker 7: It's a great name, ranking in the fabulous law of
- 16:34Speaker 7: piracy with those of Drake Hawkins, Morgan, Jean lafite I
- 16:39Speaker 7: Answerstor commanded of Fritilla under Sir Water Rally. He was
- 16:43Speaker 7: as fier as a buccaneer as ever to spoil the Indies,
- 16:46Speaker 7: or rabbit to spanish our mother. Twas on a map
- 16:50Speaker 7: he bequeathed to his heirs. But I found a description.
- 16:54Speaker 8: Of the islands.
- 16:56Speaker 5: But why is it the island of the dead?
- 17:00Speaker 7: It was once a pirate rendezvous man and the free
- 17:02Speaker 7: Boodists slew each other and struggles of a loot, leaving
- 17:05Speaker 7: the bones of the dead too rot, leaving the skulls
- 17:09Speaker 7: you found.
- 17:11Speaker 5: And this this is your island.
- 17:14Speaker 7: It is suffice it that I cannot afford for you
- 17:18Speaker 7: to return to England.
- 17:19Speaker 8: With MW to this island and of my ship.
- 17:24Speaker 7: The quarter before one in the morning. My crew will
- 17:27Speaker 7: arrive momentarily. Then I shall kill the two of you.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Well, hold, we've reached our boat and found the island. Now,
- 17:46Speaker 2: how on earth shall we examine this, this gruesome territory.
- 17:49Speaker 4: I would suggest, Watson that we divide our forcees. You
- 17:51Speaker 4: and I shall circle about the island, beginning toward the left.
- 17:54Speaker 4: You will ascribe might investigating the opposite direction.
- 17:57Speaker 9: Well, I'm a rovara, doctor Watson has it.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Neither of us requires help. Fuzzy fire an alarm. I'll
- 18:04Speaker 3: meet you back here within an hour. Right, goodbye, good luck,
- 18:08Speaker 3: good luck.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Inspector, come come up and don't daddle along and have
- 18:11Speaker 4: your revolver at the ready.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Oh well, this is exhausting, hurt marching along this way enough.
- 18:26Speaker 6: I looks there's a ship.
- 18:29Speaker 4: It's a huge ship, Yes, on which we may find
- 18:33Speaker 4: mister and missus Saunder's Watson, impossibly the motivation for the
- 18:36Speaker 4: depth of the Chinese. We must go aboard unubtruthably, of course,
- 18:40Speaker 4: follow me decks and it's ready. It should be possible
- 18:46Speaker 4: to speak about unnoticed.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Let's do it at the jagged sladder. You see it
- 18:49Speaker 2: dangling close to the edge of those rocks. I believe
