  Speaker 1: Good evening, Darty, good evening, mister Bartel, Come over here
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and join me by the far. I didn't think it
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: was cold enough for a fire to night, doctor.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It isn't early. There was one late, so I just
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: couldn't resist putting a match to it.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Fires the good ecconoymento storytelling anyway.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, my boy, a far and a glass of port.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Care to join me in one?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Doctley. So you're gonna tell us a sea story
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to night?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, mister Boutell.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: The whole adventure took place aboard a small steamer as
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: it plowed through the stormy seas of the Indian Ocean.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Here's your glass, boy, Thanks?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And what were you and the great Sherlock Holms doing
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: on the Indian Ocean?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: May I run our way to Calcutta to solve the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: case and the vanishing elephant of party?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Per Oh?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, the story told us a few weeks ago.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It's quite right, my boy.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: It's in the summer of eighteen hundred and ninety four.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: We left Liverpool aboard the steamship Lucifer. Wasn't a large ship,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and us both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea proved
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: somewhat We see unfriendly, I may tell you the first
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: part of the voyage was quite unpleasant, in fact, until
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we left Aid and I'd spent most.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Of the time in my cabin. I am not much
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: of a sailor enough.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: However, as we headed eastward towards Colombo, the weather cleared
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: up a bit and I came on desk and joined Homes.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I remember on the second night out of Aiden, we
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: paced the decks together. The stars above us twinkled, the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: promise of a bright tomorrow, and the faint tinkle of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a piano being played in the passenger lounge formed a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: perfect setting for an evening stroll. It only seems like
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: yesterday that Homes said, what's in It's good to see
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on your pet again. It's it's good to be on
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: them Holmes. It's been a miserable trip from mesover. The
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: captain told me tonight that we can expect good weather
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: between here and Calabati, my next port of call. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I thought, Columbo's next up. And where is keV at
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Vatio recall it anywhere?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I never heard of the place.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: It's a tiny island in the Indian Ocean which a
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: British protectorate.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That's the only effect I was able to glean from
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: me in psychlopedia and the ship's like captain, why we're
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: stopping her? No, no, I didn't.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: As we are traveling incognito, I thought it wiser not
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: to ask too many questions.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I find this incognitive business something of astrain.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Every time a Stuart caused me, mister Hamish, I can't
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: think who knows.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: These stories are?
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: And as I find myself answering to mister Micraft almost automatically,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: by the way, I'll chap now that you are going
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: to mix with the ship's passengers, and I suggest that
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: you adopted Scotch accent.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It would seem more appropriate.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: For mister Hamish, and I don't want anyone aboard to
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: suspect our true identity.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I'll do my best, but I must say, Homes, I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: think you're being unnestedly mysterious.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Possibly I've been influenced by reading too many of your
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: rather florid stories about adventures together.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: My stories are not Florida's perfectly true.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Good. Please, by the way, we'll.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: You'll be interested to know that I've unearthed a little
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: mystery about this book.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Trust you to do that? Well?
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I mean it you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Observe that suite of kevins on a bridge deck above us.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: About them, Well, I've been watching them during my distrollsed
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: for the past two weeks. The sweet is occupied, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: yet the blinds are never raised, and I've never seen
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: meals taken him there. I presume therefore, that it must
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: contain a private galley and.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: A cooking mysterious about that, it's probably occupied by some
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: wealthy invalid. Possibly possibly.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Another interesting fact is that the occupants are not entered
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: on the ship's passengers.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: All sounds very mysterious. There's probably a perfectly simple explanation
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for it. In any case, you must save your energies
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: for the problem that awaits us in India.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You're mister Micraft. Now remember that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I will, mister Hamish. Mister Micraft, Yes, mister Harrish, she
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: cares to join me for we drop of brandy in the.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Smarting room, mister Hamish, I shall be delighted.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Ah, this is excellent brandy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Excellent Watson. You noticed that rather garrulous gentlemen over there
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: in the corner.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You mean the one at the table with the orientalkin villa.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, the talkative man is the ship's doctor, and I
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: haven't seen the other gentleman before on this voyage.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I wonder if he is an occupant of the mysterious
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: suite on the bridge deck.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Let's go over and talk from showIn and remember the accent,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: mister Hamish.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And so Verde.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: When we landed at Colombo, I decided to take missus
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Abbott for a moonlight rickshaw drive for the Cinnamon gardens.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Did you, gentlemen want to see me?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: If you will excuse us, Doctor Harris.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: My friend mister Hamish and I were having a little
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: argument and we thought perhaps you might be able to
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: settle it for no argument.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Oh I love a good argument.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Sit down, gentlemen, sir, this is mister Verder.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: How do you do, gentlemen?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Good unions.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: My name is Hamish and this is my friend mister Microft.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy to meet you, gentlemen. Now do you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: know mister villa Ah?
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: Now, gentlemen, tell me what you're arguing about.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It?
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Well, doctor, a good argument, you see it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It wasn't exactly an argument.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: My friend mister Hamish insists that the Suez Canal was
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: built by a Dutchman in eighteen seventy. I'm convinced that
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: he was built by the lessps of Frenchman in eighteen
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: sixty nine.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We thought you'd know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: You've flatter me.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I'm only a ship's dot and not an historian.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: As Burda he probably knows.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: I can you settle the question for a sir, I
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: can by mister Microft, you're almost correct. The canal was
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: opened in eighteen sixty nine, though its construction began ten
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: years previously. The recepts a French engineer was in charge
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: of the operation. There is a statue of him in
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Portside Harbor, built to commemorate his skill and enterprise.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Much obliged to you, mister Vera Hamish, I think that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I went my bed.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: If I'm afraid you do. If you're sure of your facts, mister.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Verna, I'm sufficiently sure of the mister Hemmish to venture
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: a small wager myself.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, I think I'll not make any more bets
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: on the subject.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Thank you well, gentlemen. If you will excuse me, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: shall return to my cabin now.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Oh don't go, No, no, no, don't go, sir. It'll
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: make us feel as if we'd driven you away.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: On another to all, mister hemish. I enjoyed eating you both,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: but I have some letters to write with evening gentlemen.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: He's a charming person, charming and extremely knowledgeable both.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: If you ask me, you two fellas enjoyed the trip.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm just beginning to It takes a little time to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: get my sea legs.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And Doca Harris, how long you've been on the ship
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: four years?
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: This is my twenty third trip based on a Lucifer.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Why, well, there's something that puzzles me on board this ship.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that you would explain it to me.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: And what is it? Well?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Be you a suite of cabins on the bridge deck?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Who occupied me here?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't you like to know? I don't know it would,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and that's why my friend asked you.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you, though it's supposed to be a secret,
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: but there'll be no harm in telling you now, for
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: we're dropping.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Anchor off the island of Kvarati in the morning. In
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that suite of rooms.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: In that suite of rooms is the runny of Cavarati herself.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: She has her own staff of servants and everything.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: What do you think of that?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: How very interesting?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: And is the Oriental gentleman who left the table when
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: we arrived, part of our entourage.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Sir, he's the sort of prime minister of Cavaratti. This
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: whole trip of days is very hush hush. Arani returning
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: to her country afraid someone might make an attack on
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: her life. Have to keep it all hash hash. Cavaratti
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: is an island that's had a lot of trouble.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You seem to be remarkably well informed about the place.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I should be.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: I used to practice there in the younger days.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Very interesting.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, I could tell you strange tales about the island.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: I remember.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Oh Hello, see that fellow coming into the lounge.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You mean, the big one with the gray hair is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and Sir Christopher Wyatt owns all the tea plantations on Cavarati.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: He's a dull fellow, but I'll call him over, eh, Wyatt.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Come over and join us. Be careful, we took your
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: head off.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: If you give him half a chance, Ah, draw up
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: a chair, Wyatt. We were just just talking about Cavaatti.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: It seems to me that would be a good subject
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: to keep away from, at least till after tomorrow. Harris,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: What do you mean you know perfectly well, what I mean?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I should have thought that, after your own experience on Cabaratti,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: you'd have learned a little discretion.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: You're talking at the school master, while why did you sit.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Down and have a drink with friendly Thank you? I
• 8:05

  Speaker 1: He's afraid of me, that's what he is.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Look at this girl coming in the room. Great got
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: she's good looking.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Judging by our oriental costume, she must be a member
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: of the Rames retinue.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: She's coming to our table, is my dear?

  Speaker 7: pretty easy like. I may as well begin by telling
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: you that I know you both are, mister Sherlock Holmes
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: and Dr Watson. I've seen you in the good old
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: days in London.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: I may I ask if I visit is purely a
• 10:12

• 10:16
  Speaker 7: A little of both, mister Olmes, A little of both,
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: and we'll start off with being social.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Roma name same Champagne bought that jimme side.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: If you pardon my asking you, madam, but I'm not
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: seeing you before.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Oh that's that question I'm always haven't answered. Yes, you'll
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: probably have Dr Watson. You see, I was in the
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: chorus at Daily's Theater in London for a quite a
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: few years, until the Roger of Cavarati decided I'd look
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: better on his island, and I didn't follow the footlast.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Your husband Roger is dead, isn't he? Yes?
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: He was killed playing Polo Champagne. Meme, same Colo Champagne.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: He doesn't speak English, so I won't get along with
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: telling you my travels. Mister Olmes, somebody's trying to kill me.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Cr which good and may I ask what reason you
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: have for saying that, madam?
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: You NamUs Rose. Before I left England, I had threatening
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: letters warning me that if I were went back to Cavarotti,
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: I'd never get to the island alive. I got another
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: letter in Port's side that said the same thing.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You kept these letters, I trust, No, I didn't go.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I tore them up.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: I never did pay attention to letters. If weren't signed
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: to get pity.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Madam, those letters might have been invaluable.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: Now it's too late to think about that now, Doctor Watson,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: here's what's on my mind. I land at Cavaratti in
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: the morning, and if anyone's up to a bit of
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: no good, tonight's their last chance.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: You would destroyed the threatening letters, madam, thereby indicating that
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: you did not believe in the threats.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And yet you now appear to feel that you are
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in danger. I wonder what made you change your mind?
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: The ace of spades.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, I don't understand you, manam.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: In the last two days, every time I tell my fortune,
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: I get the ice of spades. Now you know what
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: that means?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Death?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, come not mat them, if you'll pardon my saying. So,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: that's a very childish, stupidty.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: You and the cards have never large to me yet.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Oh you can laugh at it if you like.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: But I know well you mind if I asked you
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a through questions anything you like?
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: Mister Elmes far away? How long has it since you
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: were in Kavadaddi about eighteen months. We were in England
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: when my husband died and I couldn't face the idea
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: of going back to that island alone. In three months
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: ago Verda Oh, he's the chief Minister of.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Cover Ice and we met him for a moment in
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the lawn.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: Well, Verda came over to England to persuade me. It
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: was my duty is the Romney to go back?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I see, as far as you know, have you any
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: enemies among the passengers onboard the ship?
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: It's an i'd one to answer, mister Elmes, But I
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: can tell you right here in mar sweet there's someone
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: who doesn't like me. A girl, Raduna, the one that
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: brought you my message. She was in love with a
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: Roger herself. I know she hates me, even though she
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: did stay with me in England after my husband died.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: How about Furder, you're minister, Oh.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: He's all right. My husband thought the world of him
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: and he's been wonderful to me.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: He came from Cavaradi recently, you say, to persuade you
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: to return there.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: That's right, mister Elmes.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Well, Roma seems to be all right after drink that champagne,
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: so it'll be safe for our steps on there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Champagne and bought that. Jim's said, I've been burning with
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: curiosity to know why you gave him a glass of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: champagne a few minutes ago, and yet we didn't have
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: any Well, surely that's obvious.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Watson Fulmer is the official poison taster is media, that's.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Right, mister Jones.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: He tastes everything I eat or drink before I do,
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: and if it doesn't affect him, then I know it's safe.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: Good have brought him over to England when he came
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: to fetch me on the island of Cavarati. Poisonings quite another.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: You know there were two people in the smoking room
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: tonight who seem to know quite a lot about your island.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: The ship's doctor rather Garrulus.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Gentleman by the name of Harris, and Sir Christopher Wyatt,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: who owns tea plantations.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: On the island. Do you know either of them?
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: Medium, or should say I do both of them? Doctor
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: Harris isn't any good. He was on the island for
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: a bit, but he got into some kind of trouble
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: then my husband had and throwing at.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And how about Sir Christopher Wyatt, Oh, Chris.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: Is all right. I saw quite a bit of them
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: in London after my husband's death. Is a matter of fact. Well,
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: if I weren't going back to Kabarati, I don't think
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: he'd be on the boat at all. He hasn't been
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: there for over five years, ever since he had roused
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: with my husband over the wages he paid the native labor.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: If it seemed to me.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: That several people aboard this boat have a personal interest
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: in the island of Cabarati, interests that might be influenced
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: by your death, I was.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Going to say, Adam, I think we should keep an
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: eye on you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's just what I was hoping you'd say.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Doctor.
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: You see, I'm given a bit of a supper party tonight.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: All the people we've been talking about have been invited.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: And I thought when I thought, if you two were
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: to be here, perhaps should be on the lookout for
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: any any funny business.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: How about him? Well, of course we'll come. We'll we're home.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I think it might be a good idea, although I
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: would suggest that we retain our incognitails as mister Hamish and.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Mister Mike Craft.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: Whatever you say, mister Ewes. And now let's add that champagne.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You know, Holmes.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I remember the Raleigh when she was in the chorus
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of dailis she looks tunnuing in tight.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: There was one night I Scot, we don't mind that.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: The moment is a question I would ask you. Is
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: your medical bag fully equipped with all the antidotes to poison?
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Poison?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And ridiculous? How could the Raney be poisoned when she
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: has a poison taster? And my dear Watson, you mustn't
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: do what the blazerston. That guy came from the companion way.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: There are two figures dried him on the rail.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Heavens what I'm gonna push the other? I'm a companion wave.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Good lord, his car smashed in. I'm afraid that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: What's happened?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: It's a Christopher Wyatt?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: What are you doing here? I was taking a stroll.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I've had a yelp from this direction and can her
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: as fast as I could, Great Scott, the fellers beating badly.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: You just got the ship's doctor. That's hardly necessary. I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: fas a Christopher. What do you mean? In the first place,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: this man is dead. In the second place, he is
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the ship's doctor. We'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: story in just a second. So I'm just gonna ask.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: You to do one thing for me, well, I should say,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: for yourself tomorrow night. If you're having meat or any
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: meat dish for dinner, why not open up a bottle
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: of Petrie California Burgundy. That wonderful, rich red Petrie Burgundy
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: will turn your dinner into a real feast, you see
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: if it doesn't, because there's nothing like a good wine
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: with good food. And I know your family gets good food,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: and I know that Petrie Burgundy is a good wine.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's a perfect meal time wine.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Try it and see. And now, doctor Watson, tell us
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: what happened next? You said you found the ship's doctor
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: dead at the foot of the companion way.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, his neck had been broken instantly.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Imagine there was a good deal of excitement about it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: No, my boy, As a matter of fact, there wasn't.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: We managed to get the body back to its cabin
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: without attracting attention.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Holmes, after revealing his true identity.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Was able to persuade the captain to hush up for
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: killing until after l Uranis party had taken place.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, he didn't want to scare the murderer. I guess
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: what happened next, Doctor.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Holmes and I returned to our cabin to dress for
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the party. Holmes, I remember, was in a state of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: suppressed excitement. He spoke quietly and deliberate Watson. Surely it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: obvious why the doctor was murdered.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Oh No, obvious to me.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: It's elementary, My dear fellow. We are planning a subtle
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: murder by poison? How wise to remove the one man
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: who might save the victim's life, a doctor?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: W You keep harping on poisoning.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: It seems to me that to be the last way
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a murder would try to dispose of the ranee. Everything
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: she touches is first tested by the poison tester exactly.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: That's why I call it a subtle murder attempt. Didn't
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you notice the physical attributes of pruma the poison tester, which,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: in particular homes usually glossy hair is remarked with clear complexion,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: his plump figure.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Look here, just tell me one thing, will you? I
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: presume that in your medical bag you have a supply
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: of magnesia? Do you also have hydrated pedic oxide?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I do, splendid. Then's be off to the party for.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Other things to take to a party?
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Are mustn't true, my dear fellow, But I'm afraid that
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: this party may not prove as convivial as the Ronne thinks.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Homes.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: It's nearly one in the morning. Everything seems to be
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: going splendidly. It seems to be Watson that keep your
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: eyes on the raee. Yes, I have been the poison taster,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: has tested everything that passed her lips. We don't endorist,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you said, Christopher, you haven't a good time?
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, thank you, mister Hamish, how about you, mister
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: microft All the runne is perfect hosts who could help
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: having a good time. I don't think that girl Rejunia
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: should be here though. I don't want to be pompous,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: but after all, she's glorified. Certain not possibly the laws
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: of it Keta not so stricken Cavaratia.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: They are in London, Christopher, Oh, perhaps you're right.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I don't trust the girl. There's something shifty about her.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: I've told he RANI more than once. Oh well, I
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: suppose it's none of my business. I think I'll try
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: and persway the run and to sing.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It's one of her old songs. He doesn't trust her Doner,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and I don't trust him. I don't think it was
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: an excellent that we found him near the body of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: doctor Hesh becomes Spira.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: I trust you, gentlemen, are enjoying yourself very much.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Butter Verda, thank you.
• 19:30

• 19:33
  Speaker 5: I am mister Microft. Though I only left it three
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: months ago, it has seemed more like three years.

  Speaker 7: Give me what.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Such pain? All the symptoms of asking poisoning.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Now I know why Home has asked me if I
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: had in magnesia, helic oxide.

  Speaker 7: Do something for me, doctor, I'm dying.
• 20:51

  Speaker 4: out of danger, why can't we all go back to
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: our cabin.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: It's nearly dawn. We've been locked in here since one o'clock.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: You've no right to do this, you know, Passaba, not
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Sir Christopher. But there's a murderer in this cabin, and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I don't intend to let him escape.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: Mister Holmes, what happened? How could I have been poisoned?
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: When Frumer tasted everything first?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: What it wasn't here poisons for.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: A very simple reason, Your high is the murderer has
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: been conditioning fromer for over a year.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: What are your name?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: He's been feeding him gradually increasing doses of arsenic until
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: he has finally become immune to the poison. Great, got
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: a loolow, Homer's glossy hair is complexion, and start to
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: figure it all typical of a person who consumes arsenic regularly?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Who could have done it?
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Only one person had the opportunity. Well, tell us who
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: that person is. Not you, said, Christopher, not you. You
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: haven't been on the island for years, whereas from a
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: return from Karvati for three months ago, Raduna has also
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: been in London with her mistress for the past eighteen months.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Remember, the answer is obvious. You did it, Furder.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: You brought the taste over when you came to fetch me.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: You prepared him for the year before.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: And of course I did.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: No white Rana will ever rule over Cavarati, and.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You murdered doctor Harris.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Equally true, mister Holmes, give me the key to the door. Please,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: oh no, do not come near me. Please throw it
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: on the floor. Do not hesitate. You see this revolver,
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: I should have no compunction in using it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I assure you. How do you expect to escape? Gadder?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: The key?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Please?

• 23:27
  Speaker 4: on an arm, and don't hesitate to shoot.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: There he is up a life, but he's coming up
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: on the rail.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: Where did he go?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Out? There on the rail above is madam, he's going
• 23:35

  Speaker 7: now in Cavaratti waters, and that I, though I may
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: not look like it at the moment, I am still
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: the Runnie of Cavaratti.
