- 0:01Speaker 1: And now, doctor Watson, you were going to tell us
- 0:02Speaker 1: of the adventure of Black Peter.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Ah, yes, mister Harris, be sure. It began in eighteen
- 0:07Speaker 2: ninety five, a most fruitful year. Per Hoose was enjoying
- 0:11Speaker 2: an immense practice at two twenty one beat batistry. Indeed,
- 0:15Speaker 2: if I should reveal the identity of some of the
- 0:17Speaker 2: illustrious clients who crossed our threshold, I should be guilty
- 0:21Speaker 2: of an indiscretion. Chronologically, this adventure took place just after
- 0:26Speaker 2: Holmes's famous investigation of the sudden death of Cardinal Tusk
- 0:31Speaker 2: and his arrest of Wilson, the notorious East End trainer
- 0:34Speaker 2: of Canary births. It properly began in the year eighteen
- 0:39Speaker 2: eighty three, aboard the steam whaler Sea Unicor, and in
- 0:44Speaker 2: the middle watch of a very dark night evening. Missilligan.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Eh, oh, it's you, captain.
- 0:59Speaker 2: It is so dark here on deck I couldn't tell

- 2:59Speaker 6: of day. I had a little business to talk over
- 3:02Speaker 6: with you, nice and quiet, and I need.
- 3:05Speaker 2: A clear head to do it. Show you got your
- 3:07Speaker 2: little business, A mister, what business?
- 3:11Speaker 6: A certain tin box once owned by a passenger aboard
- 3:14Speaker 6: to see unicorns?
- 3:15Speaker 2: What are you talking about? A mandal man named John
- 3:17Speaker 2: Mulligan skipper.
- 3:19Speaker 6: Oh, they say he fell over board one dark night
- 3:24Speaker 6: in the middle Watch, but I say different.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I say he was tipped by the heels and prono.
- 3:30Speaker 6: I do you see? I was at st a whole
- 3:34Speaker 6: thing myself with my own eyes. Of course I ain't
- 3:39Speaker 6: mentioning any means. Blast june me.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Why did you come to my place here? What do
- 3:45Speaker 2: you want? I want half a swagging that tin bux

- 3:53Speaker 6: When I tell the police about what happened that John Nulligan,
- 3:56Speaker 6: they'll hang you.
- 3:57Speaker 2: So I'll come out to tomb per stop that night skiverer.
- 4:00Speaker 7: First, we just thought, I will.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Watson you know the county of Sussex. Of course he.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Home Sussex for years. Of course I do. What about it?
- 4:23Speaker 4: We're journeying there on the ten o'clock train. My dear,
- 4:25Speaker 4: what specifically to a little place called Woodman Lee, near
- 4:29Speaker 4: forest Row. Here we are why I'm the receive of
- 4:32Speaker 4: an urgent and long telegram from my young protege with
- 4:34Speaker 4: the official police Inspector Stanley Hopkins.
- 4:37Speaker 2: He admits to complete.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Battlements in the procedure of his duties and begs us
- 4:42Speaker 4: to repair there with all possible haste. And there is
- 4:43Speaker 4: more to this than just the senior in There is
- 4:46Speaker 4: indeed to be exact murder.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Murder.
- 4:50Speaker 4: Yes, it seems that a certain retired sea captain, one
- 4:54Speaker 4: Peter Carey, has been mysteriously stabbed nice day. I did
- 4:58Speaker 4: not say that, dear homes. You say the man was stabbed, but.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Not neither Sisly Watson.
- 5:03Speaker 4: And this is what gives the case and altogether an
- 5:05Speaker 4: intriguing and refreshing aspect. Peter Carey was stabbed and pinned
- 5:09Speaker 4: to a wall, not by a knife, but by a harpoon.
- 5:25Speaker 2: You say this forest path leads to black Peter's cabin,
- 5:27Speaker 2: Inspector Hopkins.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Yes, Doctor Watson will be there presently. Hopkins. You tell
- 5:32Speaker 3: me you've found no footprints before the heavy.
- 5:34Speaker 4: Rain last night, obliterated or fine, now, mister Holmes, I
- 5:36Speaker 4: found no footprints, meaning that you saw.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Now, I assure you, mister Holmes, there were none.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Oh, come, come, Hupkins, you're beginning to found like your
- 5:43Speaker 4: senior colleague, Inspector Lesstras. Yes, sir, but my dear Hopkins,
- 5:47Speaker 4: I have investigated many kinds, but I've never yet seen
- 5:50Speaker 4: one that was committed by a flying creature. As long
- 5:53Speaker 4: as a criminal remains on two legs, so long must
- 5:56Speaker 4: there be some indentation, some abrasion, some fifling dispri which
- 6:00Speaker 4: can be detected by the scientific searcher. And trust you'll
- 6:04Speaker 4: remember that in the future, my lad. Yes, mister Holmes,
- 6:07Speaker 4: I'm sorry I did not tell it that was sooner,
- 6:09Speaker 4: but quite all right. But hello, there's the cabin just ahead.
- 6:13Speaker 4: Perhaps we may be able to lean heavily on what
- 6:16Speaker 4: we find within.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Good Heaven's homes. Look at that body pinned to this
- 6:28Speaker 2: wall by a steel half who's not very pretty? Is
- 6:31Speaker 2: it wants the position? I'm supposed to be hardened this
- 6:34Speaker 2: sort of thing, But I must confess that this this
- 6:38Speaker 2: gave me a bit of a start.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Quite a terrifying sight, wasting, yet fascinating. Note how the
- 6:43Speaker 4: steel harpoon was thrust cleaning through the man's chest impaling
- 6:47Speaker 4: him against the wall, his face twisted in agony, like
- 6:50Speaker 4: a lost soul in torment.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Surprise visitor turned out to be a most unpleasant scoundrel,
- 6:56Speaker 2: I must say.
- 6:56Speaker 4: On the contrary, Watson, Peter Carey's visitor was no surprise.
- 6:59Speaker 4: He met his by appointment. How do you know that,
- 7:01Speaker 4: mister elementary?
- 7:02Speaker 3: My dear Hopkins.
- 7:03Speaker 4: Observed that although Peter Carey was killed late at night,
- 7:06Speaker 4: he was fully dressed Note two, that the bed has
- 7:09Speaker 4: not been swept in, and that on his sea chest
- 7:11Speaker 4: he placed a tantalus containing brandy and whiskey for the
- 7:14Speaker 4: convenience of his guests. I ah, so what does it
- 7:18Speaker 4: help the cirrits In these two bottles, both the brandy
- 7:20Speaker 4: and the whiskey have been unopened. On the other hand,
- 7:23Speaker 4: the bottle of rum on the table there has been
- 7:25Speaker 4: almost completely consumed. You consider this significantness of home? I do, indeed, Hopkins,
- 7:28Speaker 4: most sickness homes. I simply do not see you.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Hello, what's this blood stained notebook doing on the table?
- 7:34Speaker 2: As to that, sir, I found it on the floor
- 7:36Speaker 2: near the door and picked it up.
- 7:37Speaker 3: It's the only thing I touched.
- 7:38Speaker 4: Er showed with blood on one side yes. On which side, Hopkins,
- 7:43Speaker 4: were the bloodstains above or below?
- 7:45Speaker 3: Why on the side.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Next to the floorboard, which proves, of course that the
- 7:48Speaker 4: book was dropped after the crime was committed.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Let's have a look inside.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Yes, seems to be a list of stock exchange securities,
- 7:58Speaker 4: and on the first age two sets.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Of initials j h N and cp R.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Would you make of them, Hopkins? Why?
- 8:09Speaker 4: If you ask me, mister Holmes, I'd say it's possible.
- 8:13Speaker 4: JHN was the name of the broker, and CPR the
- 8:15Speaker 4: name of this plan.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Pretty sound induction, I should say, her rubbish Watson, heh.
- 8:19Speaker 4: JHN alludes me for the moment, but I'll wager a
- 8:21Speaker 4: sovereign that the initial TPR stands for Canadian Pacific Railway
- 8:28Speaker 4: by Joe mister Holmes.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Of course, what a fool I've been.
- 8:32Speaker 4: Canadian Pacific securities, of course. But what's an old sea
- 8:35Speaker 4: dog like Peter's carry got to do with stock?
- 8:37Speaker 1: This changerescisely what I proposed to find out, Oh, Hopkins, Hey, yes, sir,
- 8:41Speaker 1: I presume you noticed by the dust imprint that.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Something was taken from this shelf.
- 8:45Speaker 4: I did it. It's an oblong shape. If you will
- 8:47Speaker 4: observice to homes. It might have been a book, perhaps
- 8:49Speaker 4: a book. Whatever it was, the murderer considered it valuable
- 8:52Speaker 4: enough to take with him. There's no other evidence of robbery. Well, well, gentlemen,
- 8:57Speaker 4: let us go. We've seen enough of this room.
- 8:59Speaker 2: But you go to do now home?
- 9:01Speaker 3: Reflect what they have to walk in? These beautiful woods
- 9:05Speaker 3: will serve to hello.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Look up a lock on this door for the bottle, Sir,
- 9:09Speaker 1: someone's been tampering with the lock.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Observe the woodwork is cut? Howkins yesterms were these fetches
- 9:14Speaker 4: here when you left last evening? And no, sir, they
- 9:16Speaker 4: were not.
- 9:17Speaker 2: What do you think of it? Help?
- 9:18Speaker 4: I think fortune has been very kind to my dear Watson. Come, come, Watson.
- 9:23Speaker 4: It's all quite plain. Our nocturnal marauder is obviously a
- 9:25Speaker 4: very poor burglar. He came expecting to find Peter Carey's
- 9:29Speaker 4: door open. Finding it lost, he tried to force it
- 9:32Speaker 4: open with a pen knife.
- 9:33Speaker 2: He failed.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Now, assuming that he wanted something in the cabin very badly,
- 9:38Speaker 4: what would.
- 9:39Speaker 3: He do next?
- 9:40Speaker 4: Wellcome back the next night with the heavier tool, the
- 9:42Speaker 4: sight player. Then you think this burglar fellow well returned tonight?
- 9:45Speaker 4: I do, indeed, Hopkins, and it will be our fault
- 9:47Speaker 4: if we are not here to receive him at close quarters.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Yeah, two o'clock and the fellow hasn't showed up yet. Patient, Patient,
- 10:17Speaker 2: I must confess it. Lying in a Sussex bush for
- 10:19Speaker 2: five hours on a cold, damp night like this isn't
- 10:21Speaker 2: to my taste. That old legs of mine is beginning
- 10:25Speaker 2: to pay.
- 10:26Speaker 4: I regret that this long and melancholy vigil so uncomfortable.
- 10:29Speaker 4: My dear want that we may yet hope that.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Uh huh, someone with the.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Don't know both of you. He's coming, Yes, he's looking
- 10:42Speaker 2: at my white king.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Coming on again.
- 10:52Speaker 2: He stopped at the cabin.
- 10:53Speaker 3: Dog k, come on to Hoppins. We've got him trapped
- 11:02Speaker 3: in the cabin. Now is the time to close with
- 11:03Speaker 3: our body.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Tomorrow. Go visit your clipper craft leader. See his showing
- 11:20Speaker 1: of clipper Craft for falls. Just feel the luxurious fabrics
- 11:24Speaker 1: and consider the superb cut and made for you fits.
- 11:28Speaker 1: You just have to agree clipper Craft suits look many
- 11:30Speaker 1: dollars more than the forty or forty seven fifty youth paid.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Now here's the reason clipper craft is so easy on
- 11:37Speaker 1: your budget. That reason is pure lucky. More than twelve
- 11:41Speaker 1: hundred of America's finest stores from coast to coast, combine
- 11:44Speaker 1: their huge buying power for savings in production and distribution.
- 11:48Speaker 1: An operation of this code naturally keeps clipper Craft great
- 11:51Speaker 1: tailoring plants on a full working schedule the whole year round.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Manufacturing expenses are obviously reduced. Anyone can see that this
- 12:00Speaker 1: results in real savings for the millions who wear Clippercraft.
- 12:05Speaker 1: That's why Clippercraft suits are such staggering values at only
- 12:09Speaker 1: forty dollars and forty seven fifty. That's why men who
- 12:12Speaker 1: know insist on Clippercraft boats. So be sure to visit
- 12:17Speaker 1: the clipper Craft store in your city.
- 12:20Speaker 8: These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
- 12:23Speaker 8: add their names to Clippercraft and your suits, top coats

- 12:52Speaker 3: And now let's return to our story, Doctor Watts.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Well, mister Harris, we poured into the cabin and found
- 12:58Speaker 2: a frightened youth who put up no resistance whatsoever. He
- 13:01Speaker 2: had one of Black Peter's love books in his hand,
- 13:03Speaker 2: dated August eighteen eighty three, but Inspector Hopkins stepped the
- 13:07Speaker 2: handcuffs on it. He was afrail you obviously a gentleman,
- 13:11Speaker 2: and so frightened he could hardly speak.
- 13:15Speaker 5: Now, my fine fellow, who are you inspected? I? If
- 13:18Speaker 5: you imagine that I had anything to do with Captain
- 13:20Speaker 5: Caredy's death, you're wrong.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Believe me, I'm innocent.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Suppose you tell us your name.
- 13:24Speaker 2: It's it's Nelligan, John Hopley Nelligan indeed, and the initials
- 13:29Speaker 2: would be j H.
- 13:31Speaker 3: What do you think of that, mister Holmes. I'll digest
- 13:33Speaker 3: it later.
- 13:34Speaker 4: ADEA hopkinss God and Nelligan. Your name has a familiar sound.
- 13:40Speaker 4: I seem to recall it in connection with financial circles
- 13:42Speaker 4: in London.
- 13:43Speaker 5: Yes, I my father is a partner in the banking
- 13:46Speaker 5: firm of Dawson and Mellican by Joe Holmes.
- 13:49Speaker 2: I recall it. Now, the West country beggars who failed
- 13:51Speaker 2: were a million and earned half the county families from Cornwall.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Yes, and it seems to me your father disappeared with
- 13:57Speaker 4: some of the securities.
- 13:58Speaker 5: It's a lie. He simply needed time to realize them
- 14:01Speaker 5: and pay back his investors. It's true he fled with
- 14:03Speaker 5: a tin box of securities, but he left a list
- 14:05Speaker 5: with my mother and swore that he would come back
- 14:07Speaker 5: with his honor cleared.
- 14:08Speaker 3: And where did your father go, Nelligan?
- 14:10Speaker 5: He started in the small vessel for Norway in August
- 14:13Speaker 5: of eighty three.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Then we've never heard from him again.
- 14:16Speaker 4: Ah, But later the securities he'd taken with him turned
- 14:19Speaker 4: up in the market.
- 14:19Speaker 5: Yes, yes, mister Holmes, that's just what happened. I spent
- 14:23Speaker 5: many months tracing the original seller, and finally I discovered
- 14:26Speaker 5: that he was Captain Peter Carey, otherwise known as Black Peter,
- 14:30Speaker 5: one of the Sea Unicorns.
- 14:32Speaker 4: Now we're getting somewhere. The distance between a disappearing banker
- 14:36Speaker 4: and a sea captain pinned to a wall with a
- 14:38Speaker 4: harppoon has shrunken considerably.
- 14:40Speaker 3: What's mean?
- 14:42Speaker 2: So it seems so it's ze. How do you think
- 14:45Speaker 2: Black Peter acquired your father's securities, Melligan, That's why I
- 14:48Speaker 2: came to the cabin to find out. I suspected some
- 14:51Speaker 2: sort of foul play.
- 14:52Speaker 4: So you came to Peter Carey's cabin and found him dead.
- 14:55Speaker 4: You then checked the log books for August eighteen eighty three,
- 14:57Speaker 4: hoping to preclude your father's disappearance, and you'll find that.
- 15:01Speaker 2: No, the pages for that month have been ripped out
- 15:03Speaker 2: of this log book.
- 15:03Speaker 4: And mister Herston, yes, Hopkins, with your permission, I'll ask
- 15:07Speaker 4: young Lulgin here a few questions. But I who means Hopkins?
- 15:10Speaker 4: I've quite finished now, then, my lad, you came to
- 15:13Speaker 4: the cabin last evening, but you could not break the lock.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Is that correct?
- 15:17Speaker 4: Yes, inspect of that's correct, And you were not in
- 15:19Speaker 4: the cabin before that. No, then how do you account
- 15:22Speaker 4: for this notebook? But your initials j hn I I
- 15:25Speaker 4: don't know. I thought I lasted at the hotel. We
- 15:28Speaker 4: founded the skin of the crime. It was covered with blood.
- 15:31Speaker 4: It pooons that you were there at the time that
- 15:33Speaker 4: you quote with Peter carry you took down the hot
- 15:35Speaker 4: poons on the wall, ran him through, and then your
- 15:37Speaker 4: fight dropped the book. No, No, Inspector, that's not true.
- 15:40Speaker 4: It's not true.
- 15:41Speaker 5: I tell you, tell us a cotton bull story of
- 15:42Speaker 5: want to see on bog book. What you wanted was
- 15:45Speaker 5: to recover this but stained oat book. You knew it
- 15:47Speaker 5: was evidence of the hangman's loops, Inspector, for the love
- 15:49Speaker 5: of Heaven, I tell you I'm innocent.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I swear it.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Perhaps the man has something on his side.
- 15:56Speaker 5: And that's the jury to tie that mister Holmes on
- 15:58Speaker 5: the face of the evidence, Elegan, I am arresting you
- 16:00Speaker 5: for murder.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Yes, what about young Hopkins and his arrest of Nelligan
- 16:20Speaker 2: back there at Woodman's leave?
- 16:22Speaker 3: What about it?
- 16:23Speaker 2: Well, I can't say I blame the inspector. On second thought,
- 16:27Speaker 2: that bloodstained notebook is certainly damning evidence, and certainly Nelligan
- 16:31Speaker 2: had a motive. It seems clear that black Peter did
- 16:34Speaker 2: away with his father, stole the security is all rubbish.
- 16:37Speaker 2: What eh?
- 16:39Speaker 4: Frankly, I'm disappointed in Stanley Hopkins and his methods do
- 16:42Speaker 4: not commence itself to me.
- 16:43Speaker 3: They smacked too much of les tarts. I had hope
- 16:46Speaker 3: for better things.
- 16:47Speaker 2: But the bloodstained notebook homes on the scene of the crime,
- 16:49Speaker 2: and Nelligan's strange returned granted.
- 16:51Speaker 3: My dear fellow.
- 16:51Speaker 4: But one should always look for a possible alternative and
- 16:54Speaker 4: provide against it, the first rule of criminal investigation.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Alike, confess I'm confused, are you?
- 16:59Speaker 3: What are you? Indeed? Then let me ask you a question.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Would you say young Nelligan was a big and powerful man?
- 17:07Speaker 3: Why no, No, bigger oss hunger than myself? For example,
- 17:11Speaker 3: I say.
- 17:11Speaker 2: It was less sturdy than yourself.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Homes But Dash, it's what all this has got to
- 17:15Speaker 3: do with in and R Watson.
- 17:16Speaker 4: I hope to demonstrate your own satisfaction that young John
- 17:20Speaker 4: Nelligan could not possibly have murdered Black Peeter Carey.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Oh hello, his Paddington's station.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Home quite? But this time?
- 17:27Speaker 4: What's we should stay on the train and change for
- 17:28Speaker 4: the east end of the docks, eh?
- 17:30Speaker 2: Why?
- 17:30Speaker 4: It's a certain shop on Ratcliffe Highway, near Commercial Road
- 17:33Speaker 4: East and the Shadwell Fish Market. It excels and accessaries
- 17:36Speaker 4: for the fisherman.
- 17:37Speaker 3: And I wish to.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Make a purchase there a patches, good Lord Holmes, what
- 17:40Speaker 4: kind of pass a harpoon?
- 17:43Speaker 3: My dear Watson? You see what the purchase at our poon?
- 17:56Speaker 2: Sir? I do?
- 17:57Speaker 3: I want it heavy weight and in steelable? All right? Well,
- 18:01Speaker 3: my good man, what are you staring at this simple request?
- 18:03Speaker 3: Is it not?
- 18:04Speaker 2: Yes, sir?
- 18:05Speaker 3: Yes, indeed only yes, only what?
- 18:07Speaker 2: Well, it don't look like the sort of man would be.

- 20:40Speaker 4: Nelligan couldn't possibly appear Black Peter through with the cabin.

- 21:00Speaker 4: to handle a harpoon deftly and speedily.

- 21:04Speaker 3: pulled his knife. Then, of course there was the spirrit,
- 21:07Speaker 3: spirits what spirrit? The murderer was drinking with Black Peter.
- 21:10Speaker 4: He left the brandy and whiskey untouched and drank only run,

- 24:03Speaker 2: That helps. How is your elegant security's notebook found on
- 24:06Speaker 2: the seat?
- 24:06Speaker 4: Young Needigan neglected to tell us that he'd paid a
- 24:09Speaker 4: previous visit to the cabin, Watson, he was afraid to
- 24:11Speaker 4: incriminate himself at court.
- 24:13Speaker 3: No doubt he'd seen the.
- 24:14Speaker 4: Pinion coughed, fled in haste, dropped his notebook and slammed
- 24:18Speaker 4: it or shut behind him, and later he returned to
- 24:20Speaker 4: find it.
- 24:21Speaker 2: That's the way it was, exactly the way it was.
- 24:24Speaker 4: But how did you know this sailor? Care Amenthi, my
- 24:26Speaker 4: dear Hopkins. I knew it was a sailor, and that
- 24:29Speaker 4: he must have come from Peter Carey's Old True to
- 24:31Speaker 4: Sea Unicorns. They drank together, as you know, and later
- 24:35Speaker 4: on by the dust pattern on the shelf, we knew
- 24:36Speaker 4: some sort of box was missing, the box with the
- 24:39Speaker 4: stolen securities, he exactly Watson. After that Hopkins died, telegraphed
- 24:43Speaker 4: Dundee and found that only one harpooner of the old
- 24:46Speaker 4: c Unicorn crew was alive, a giant of a man
- 24:50Speaker 4: named Patrick Cairns. Since there was no record of his
- 24:53Speaker 4: shipping elsewhere, the man was in a move.
- 24:54Speaker 2: For an attractive berth, and so you advertised for the murder.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Quite Waston, as he saw the results were most stratified. Indeed, wat,
- 25:05Speaker 4: if I may forego, my usual mother said at the
- 25:08Speaker 4: moment I believe this adventure deserved.
- 25:10Speaker 3: A special place in your memoirs.
- 25:24Speaker 1: He saw it, does doctor Watson. But how did John
- 25:27Speaker 1: Ellighan Senior us here on the c Unicorn.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Well, mister Harris, He's yacht founded in the storm. He
- 25:31Speaker 2: was picked up by Black Peter's vessel and only survival maybe,
- 25:35Speaker 2: as you know, Peter Carries threw him over board upon
- 25:38Speaker 2: learning of the valuables in the tin box. Oh I see.
- 25:41Speaker 2: I might add that ultimately the honor of the Nelligan
- 25:43Speaker 2: name was revised.
