<s> FROM EAST LONDON </s>
<s> WHAT DO YOU DEDUCE FROM THAT </s>
<s> THEY ARE ALL SEAPORTS </s>
<s> THAT THE WRITER WAS ON BOARD OF A SHIP </s>
<s> QUOTE EXCELLENT </s>
<s> WE HAVE ALREADY A CLUE </s>
<s> THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THE PROBABILITY THE STRONG PROBABILITY IS THAT THE WRITER WAS ON BOARD OF A SHIP </s>
<s> AND NOW LET US CONSIDER ANOTHER POINT </s>
<s> IN THE CASE OF PONDICHERRY SEVEN WEEKS ELAPSED BETWEEN THE THREAT AND ITS FULFILLMENT IN DUNDEE IT WAS ONLY SOME THREE OR FOUR DAYS </s>
<s> DOES THAT SUGGEST ANYTHING </s>
<s> A GREATER DISTANCE TO TRAVEL </s>
<s> BUT THE LETTER HAD ALSO A GREATER DISTANCE TO COME </s>
<s> THEN I DO NOT SEE THE POINT </s>
<s> THERE IS AT LEAST A PRESUMPTION THAT THE VESSEL IN WHICH THE MAN OR MEN ARE IS A SAILING SHIP </s>
<s> IT LOOKS AS IF THEY ALWAYS SENI THEIR SINGULAR WARNING OR TOKEN BEFORE THEM WHEN STARTING UPON THEIR MISSION </s>
<s> YOU SEE HOW QUICKLY THE DEED FOLLOWED THE SIGN WHEN IT CAME FROM DUNDEE </s>
<s> IF THEY HAD COME FROM PONDICHERRY IN A STEAMER THEY WOULD HAVE ARRIVED ALMOST AS SOON AS THEIR LETTER </s>
<s> BUT AS A MATTER OF FACT SEVEN WEEKS ELAPSED </s>
<s> I THINK THAT THOSE SEVEN WEEKS REPRESENTED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MAILBOAT WHICH BROUGHT THE LETTER AND THE SAILING VESSEL WHICH BROUGHT THE WRITER QUOTE </s>
<s> IT IS POSSIBLE </s>
<s> MORE THAN THAT </s>
<s> IT IS PROBABLE </s>
<s> AND NOW YOU SEE THE DEADLY URGENCY OF THIS NEW CASE AND WHY I URGED YOUNG OPENSHAW TO CAUTION </s>
<s> THE BLOW HAS ALWAYS FALLEN AT THE END OF THE TIME WHICH IT WOULD TAKE THE SENDERS TO TRAVEL THE DISTANCE </s>
<s> BUT THIS ONE COMES FROM LONDON AND THEREFORE WE CANNOT COUNT UPON DELAY </s>
<s> GOOD GOD </s>
<s> I CRIED </s>
<s> WHAT CAN IT MEAN THIS RELENTLESS PERSECUTION </s>
<s> QUOTE THE PAPERS WHICH OPENSHAW CARRIED ARE OBVIOUSLY OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE PERSON OR PERSONS IN THE SAILING SHIP </s>
<s> I THINK THAT IT IS QUITE CLEAR THAT THERE MUST BE MORE THAN ONE OF THEM </s>
<s> A SINGLE MAN COULD NOT HAVE CARRIED OUT TWO DEATHS IN SUCH A WAY AS TO DECEIVE A CORONER'S JURY </s>
<s> THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SEVERAL IN IT AND THEY MUST HAVE BEEN MEN OF RESOURCE AND DETERMINATION </s>
<s> THEIR PAPERS THEY MEAN TO HAVE BE THE HOLDER OF THEM WHO IT MAY </s>
<s> IN THIS WAY YOU SEE K. K. K. CEASES TO BE THE INITIALS OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND BECOMES THE BADGE OF A SOCIETY </s>
<s> BUT OF WHAT SOCIETY </s>
<s> HAVE YOU NEVER SAID SHERLOCK HOLMES BENDING FORWARD AND SINKING HIS VOICE HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF THE KU KLUX KLAN </s>
<s> I NEVER HAVE </s>
<s> HOLMES TURNED OVER THE LEAVES OF THE BOOK UPON HIS KNEE </s>
<s> HERE IT IS SAID HE PRESENTLY KU KLUX KLAN </s>
<s> A NAME DERIVED FROM THE FANCIFUL RESEM BLANCE TO THE SOUND PRODUCED BY COCKING A RIFLE </s>
<s> THIS TERRIBLE SECRET SOCIETY WAS FORMED BY SOME EX CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES AFTER THE CIVIL WAR AND IT RAPIDLY FORMED LOCAL BRANCHES IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY NOTABLY IN TENNESSEE LOUISIANA THE CAROLINAS GEORGIA AND FLORIDA </s>
<s> ITS POWER WAS USED FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES PRINCIPALLY FOR THE TERRORIZING OF THE NEGRO VOT ERS AND THE MURDERING AND DRIVING FROM THE COUNTRY OF THOSE WHO WERE OPPOSED TO ITS VIEWS </s>
<s> ITS OUTRAGES WERE USUALLY PRECEDED BY A WARNING SENT TO THE MARKED MAN IN SOME FANTASTIC BUT GENERALLY RECOGNIZED SHAPE A SPRIG OF OAK LEAVES IN SOME PARTS MELON SEEDS OR ORANGE PIPS IN OTHERS </s>
<s> ON RECEIVING THIS THE VICTIM MIGHT EITHER OPENLY ABJURE HIS FORMER WAYS OR MIGHT FLY FROM THE COUNTRY </s>
<s> IF HE BRAVED THE MATTER OUT DEATH WOULD UNFAILINGLY COME UPON HIM AND USUALLY IN SOME STRANGE AND UNFORESEEN MANNER </s>
<s> SO PERFECT WAS THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SOCIETY AND SO SYSTEMATIC ITS METHODS THAT THERE IS HARDLY A CASE UPON RECORD WHERE ANY MAN SUCCEEDED IN BRAVING IT WITH IMPUNITY OR IN WHICH ANY OF ITS OUTRAGES WERE TRACED HOME TO THE PERPETRATORS </s>
<s> FOR SOME YEARS THE ORGANIZATION FLOURISHED IN SPITE OF THE EFFORTS OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND OF THE BETTER CLASSES OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE SOUTH </s>
<s> EVENTUALLY IN THE YEAR ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY NINE THE MOVEMENT RATHER SUDDENLY COLLAPSED ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN S. P. O.  RADIC OUTBREAKS OF THE SAME SORT SINCE THAT DATE </s>
<s> QUOTE YOU WILL OBSERVE QUOTE SAID HOLMES LAYING DOWN THE VOLUME QUOTE THAT THE SUDDEN BREAKING UP OF THE SOCIETY WAS COINCIDENT WITH THE DISAPPEARANCE OF OPENSHAW FROM AMERICA WITH THEIR PAPERS </s>
<s> IT MAY WELL HAVE BEEN CAUSE AND EFFECT </s>
<s> IT IS NO WONDER THAT HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE SOME OF THE MORE IMPLACABLE SPIRITS UPON THEIR TRACK </s>
<s> YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THIS REGISTER AND DIARY MAY IMPLICATE SOME OF THE FIRST MEN IN THE SOUTH AND THAT THERE MAY BE MANY WHO WILL NOT SLEEP EASY AT NIGHT UNTIL IT IS RECOVERED </s>
<s> IS SUCH AS WE MIGHT EXPECT </s>
<s> IT RAN IF I REMEMBER RIGHT SENT THE PIPS TO A B. AND C. THAT IS SENT THE SOCIETY'S WARNING TO THEM </s>
<s> THEN THERE ARE SUCCESSIVE ENTRIES THAT A AND B. CLEARED OR LEFT THE COUNTRY AND FINALLY THAT C. WAS VISITED WITH I FEAR A SINISTER RESULT FOR C. WELL I THINK DOCTOR THAT WE MAY LET SOME LIGHT INTO THIS DARK PLACE AND I BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY CHANCE YOUNG OPENSHAW HAS IN THE MEANTIME IS TO DO WHAT I HAVE TOLD HIM </s>
<s> THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID OR TO BE DONE TO NIGHT SO HAND ME OVER MY VIOLIN AND LET US TRY TO FORGET FOR HALF AN HOUR THE MISERABLE WEATHER AND THE STILL MORE MISERABLE WAYS OF OUR FELLOWMEN </s>
<s> IT HAD CLEARED IN THE MORNING AND THE SUN WAS SHINING WITH A SUBDUED BRIGHTNESS THROUGH THE DIM VEIL WHICH HANGS OVER THE GREAT CITY </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES WAS ALREADY AT BREAKFAST WHEN I CAME DOWN </s>
<s> YOU WILL EXCUSE ME FOR NOT WAITING FOR YOU SAID HE I HAVE I FORESEE A VERY BUSY DAY BEFORE ME IN LOOKING INTO THIS CASE OF YOUNG OPENSHAW'S </s>
<s> WHAT STEPS WILL YOU TAKE </s>
<s> I ASKED </s>
<s> QUOTE IT WILL VERY MUCH DEPEND UPON THE RESULTS OF MY FIRST INQUIRIES </s>
<s> I MAY HAVE TO GO DOWN TO HORSHAM AFTER ALL </s>
<s> YOU WILL NOT GO THERE FIRST </s>
<s> NO I SHALL COMMENCE WITH THE CITY </s>
<s> JUST RING THE BELL AND THE MAID WILL BRING UP YOUR COFFEE </s>
<s> AS I WAITED I LIFTED THE UNOPENED NEWSPAPER FROM THE TABLE AND GLANCED MY EYE OVER IT </s>
<s> IT RESTED UPON A HEADING WHICH SENT A CHILL TO MY HEART </s>
<s> HOLMES I CRIED YOU ARE TOO LATE </s>
<s> QUOTE AH QUOTE SAID HE LAYING DOWN HIS CUP QUOTE I FEARED AS MUCH </s>
<s> HOW WAS IT DONE </s>
<s> HE SPOKE CALMLY BUT I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS DEEPLY MOVED </s>
<s> MY EYE CAUGHT THE NAME OF OPENSHAW AND THE HEADING TRAGEDY NEAR WATERLOO BRIDGE </s>
<s> HERE IS THE ACCOUNT BETWEEN NINE AND TEN LAST NIGHT POLICE CONSTABLE COOK OF THE H. DIVISION ON DUTY NEAR WATERLOO BRIDGE HEARD A CRY FOR HELP AND A SPLASH IN THE WATER </s>
<s> THE NIGHT HOWEVER WAS EXTREMELY DARK AND STORMY SO THAT IN SPITE OF THE HELP OF SEVERAL PASSERS BY IT WAS QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO EFFECT A RESCUE </s>
<s> THE ALARM HOWEVER WAS GIVEN AND BY THE AID OF THE WATER POLICE THE BODY WAS EVENTUALLY RECOVERED </s>
<s> IT PROVED TO BE THAT OF A YOUNG GENTLEMAN WHOSE NAME AS IT APPEARS FROM AN ENVELOPE WHICH WAS FOUND IN HIS POCKET WAS JOHN OPENSHAW AND WHOSE RESIDENCE IS NEAR HORSHAM </s>
<s> IT IS CONJECTURED THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN HURRYING DOWN TO CATCH THE LAST TRAIN FROM WATERLOO STATION AND THAT IN HIS HASTE AND THE EXTREME DARKNESS HE MISSED HIS PATH AND WALKED OVER THE EDGE OF ONE OF THE SMALL LANDING PLACES FOR RIVER STEAMBOATS </s>
<s> THE BODY EXHIBITED NO TRACES OF VIOLENCE AND THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THE DECEASED HAD BEEN THE VICTIM OF AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT WHICH SHOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF CALLING THE ATTENTION OF THE AUTHORITIES TO THE CONDI TION OF THE RIVERSIDE LANDING STAGES </s>
<s> WE SAT IN SILENCE FOR SOME MINUTES HOLMES MORE DEPRESSED AND SHAKEN THAN I HAD EVER SEEN HIM </s>
<s> THAT HURTS MY PRIDE WATSON HE SAID AT LAST </s>
<s> QUOTE IT IS A PETTY FEELING NO DOUBT BUT IT HURTS MY PRIDE </s>
<s> IT BECOMES A PERSONAL MATTER WITH ME NOW AND IF GOD SENDS ME HEALTH I SHALL SET MY HAND UPON THIS GANG </s>
<s> THAT HE SHOULD COME TO ME FOR HELP AND THAT I SHOULD SEND HIM AWAY TO HIS DEATH </s>
<s> HE SPRANG FROM HIS CHAIR AND PACED ABOUT THE ROOM IN UNCONTROLLABLE AGITATION WITH A FLUSH UPON HIS SALLOW CHEEKS AND A NERVOUS CLASPING AND UNCLASPING OF HIS LONG THIN HANDS </s>
<s> THEY MUST BE CUNNING DEVILS HE EXCLAIMED AT LAST </s>
<s> HOW COULD THEY HAVE DECOYED HIM DOWN THERE </s>
<s> THE EMBANKMENT IS NOT ON THE DIRECT LINE TO THE STATION </s>
<s> THE BRIDGE NO DOUBT WAS TOO CROWDED EVEN ON SUCH A NIGHT FOR THEIR PURPOSE </s>
<s> WELL WATSON WE SHALL SEE WHO WILL WIN IN THE LONG RUN </s>
<s> I AM GOING OUT NOW </s>
<s> TO THE POLICE </s>
<s> QUOTE NO I SHALL BE MY OWN POLICE </s>
<s> WHEN I HAVE SPUN THE WEB THEY MAY TAKE THE FLIES BUT NOT BEFORE </s>
<s> ALL DAY I WAS ENGAGED IN MY PROFESSIONAL WORK AND IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING BEFORE I RETURNED TO BAKER STREET </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES HAD NOT COME BACK YET </s>
<s> IT WAS NEARLY TEN O'CLOCK BEFORE HE ENTERED LOOKING PALE AND WORN </s>
<s> HE WALKED UP TO THE SIDEBOARD AND TEARING A PIECE FROM THE LOAF HE DEVOURED IT VORACIOUSLY WASHING IT DOWN WITH A LONG DRAUGHT OF WATER </s>
<s> YOU ARE HUNGRY I REMARKED </s>
<s> STARVING </s>
<s> IT HAD ESCAPED MY MEMORY </s>
<s> I HAVE HAD NOTHING SINCE BREAKFAST </s>
<s> NOTHING </s>
<s> QUOTE NOT A BITE </s>
<s> I HAD NO TIME TO THINK OF IT </s>
<s> AND HOW HAVE YOU SUCCEEDED </s>
<s> WELL </s>
<s> YOU HAVE A CLUE </s>
<s> I HAVE THEM IN THE HOLLOW OF MY HAND </s>
<s> YOUNG OPENSHAW SHALL NOT LONG REMAIN UNAVENGED </s>
<s> WHY WATSON LET US PUT THEIR OWN DEVILISH TRADE MARK UPON THEM </s>
<s> IT IS WELL THOUGHT OF QUOTE </s>
<s> WHAT DO YOU MEAN </s>
<s> HE TOOK AN ORANGE FROM THE CUPBOARD AND TEARING IT TO PIECES HE SQUEEZED OUT THE PIPS UPON THE TABLE </s>
<s> OF THESE HE TOOK FIVE AND THRUST THEM INTO AN ENVELOPE </s>
<s> ON THE INSIDE OF THE FLAP HE WROTE S. H. FOR J. ZERO </s>
<s> THEN HE SEALED IT AND ADDRESSED IT TO CAPTAIN JAMES CALHOUN BARK LONE STAR SAVANNAH GEORGIA </s>
<s> THAT WILL AWAIT HIM WHEN HE ENTERS PORT SAID HE CHUCKLING </s>
<s> IT MAY GIVE HIM A SLEEPLESS NIGHT </s>
<s> HE WILL FIND IT AS SURE A PRECURSOR OF HIS FATE AS OPENSHAW DID BEFORE HIM QUOTE </s>
<s> AND WHO IS THIS CAPTAIN CALHOUN </s>
<s> THE LEADER OF THE GANG </s>
<s> I SHALL HAVE THE OTHERS BUT HE FIRST </s>
<s> HOW DID YOU TRACE IT THEN </s>
<s> HE TOOK A LARGE SHEET OF PAPER FROM HIS POCKET ALL COVERED WITH DATES AND NAMES </s>
<s> I HAVE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY SAID HE OVER LLOYD'S REGISTERS AND FILES OF THE OLD PAPERS FOLLOWING THE FUTURE CAREER OF EVERY VESSEL WHICH TOUCHED AT PONDICHERRY IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY IN EIGHTY THREE </s>
<s> THERE WERE THIRTY SIX SHIPS OF FAIR TONNAGE WHICH WERE REPORTED THERE DURING THOSE MONTHS </s>
<s> OF THESE ONE THE LONE STAR INSTANTLY ATTRACTED MY ATTENTION SINCE ALTHOUGH IT WAS REPORTED AS HAVING CLEARED FROM LONDON THE NAME IS THAT WHICH IS GIVEN TO ONE OF THE STATES OF THE UNION QUOTE </s>
<s> TEXAS I THINK </s>
<s> I WAS NOT AND AM NOT SURE WHICH BUT I KNEW THAT THE SHIP MUST HAVE AN AMERICAN ORIGIN </s>
<s> WHAT THEN </s>
<s> I SEARCHED THE DUNDEE RECORDS AND WHEN I FOUND THAT THE BARK LONE STAR WAS THERE IN JANUARY EIGHTY FIVE MY SUSPICION BECAME A CERTAINTY </s>
<s> I THEN INQUIRED AS TO THE VESSELS WHICH LAY AT PRESENT IN THE PORT OF LONDON </s>
<s> QUOTE YES QUOTE </s>
<s> THE LONE STAR HAD ARRIVED HERE LAST WEEK </s>
<s> I WENT DOWN TO THE ALBERT DOCK AND FOUND THAT SHE HAD BEEN TAKEN DOWN THE RIVER BY THE EARLY TIDE THIS MORNING HOMEWARD BOUND TO SAVANNAH </s>
<s> I WIRED TO GRAVESEND AND LEARNED THAT SHE HAD PASSED SOME TIME AGO AND AS THE WIND IS EASTERLY I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SHE IS NOW PAST THE GOODWINS AND NOT VERY FAR FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT </s>
<s> WHAT WILL YOU DO THEN </s>
<s> OH I HAVE MY HAND UPON HIM </s>
<s> HE AND THE TWO MATES ARE AS I LEARN THE ONLY NATIVE BORN AMERICANS IN THE SHIP </s>
<s> THE OTHERS ARE FINNS AND GERMANS </s>
<s> I KNOW ALSO THAT THEY WERE ALL THREE AWAY FROM THE SHIP LAST NIGHT </s>
<s> I HAD IT FROM THE STEVEDORE WHO HAS BEEN LOADING THEIR CARGO </s>
<s> BY THE TIME THAT THEIR SAILING SHIP REACHES SAVANNAH THE MAIL BOAT WILL HAVE CARRIED THIS LETTER AND THE CABLE WILL HAVE INFORMED THE POLICE OF SAVANNAH THAT THESE THREE GENTLEMEN ARE BADLY WANTED HERE UPON A CHARGE OF MURDER </s>
<s> THERE IS EVER A FLAW HOWEVER IN THE BEST LAID OF HUMAN PLANS AND THE MURDERERS OF JOHN OPENSHAW WERE NEVER TO RECEIVE THE ORANGE PIPS WHICH WOULD SHOW THEM THAT ANOTHER AS CUNNING AND AS RESOLUTE AS THEMSELVES WAS UPON THEIR TRACK </s>
<s> VERY LONG AND VERY SEVERE WERE THE EQUINOCTIAL GALES THAT YEAR </s>
<s> WE WAITED LONG FOR NEWS OF THE LONE STAR OF SAVANNAH BUT NONE EVER REACHED US </s>
