"He couldn't discover anything," put in Pinzon. "He never did." "Well, I like that!" retorted Columbus. "I'd like to know who discovered America." "So should I," observed Leif Ericson, with a wink at Vespucci. HE COULDN'T DISCOVER ANYTHING PUT IN HAINES ON HE NEVER DID WELL I LIKE THAT RETORTED COLUMBUS I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO DISCOVERED AMERICA SO SHOULD I OBSERVED LAKE ERICSSON WITH A WINK AT THE FUGI
 his great rival, largely because he was a detective by intuition rather than by study of the science. “You can if you want to, but it is better not to,” rejoined Holmes, simply, as though not observing the sneer, “because the ripple represents the outer lines of the angle of disturbance in the water; and as any one of the sides to an angle is greater than the perpendicular from the hypothenuse to the apex, you’d merely be going the long way. This is especially important when you consider the formation of the bow of the House-boat, which is rounded like the stern of most vessels, and comes near to making a pair of ripples at an angle of ninety degrees.” “Then,” observed Sir Walter, with a sigh of disappointment, “we must change our course and sail for Paris?” “I am afraid so,” said Holmes; “but of course it’s by no means certain as yet. I think if Columbus would go up into the mizzentop and look about him, he might discover something either in confirmation or refutation of the theory.”  WHO DID NOT TAKE MUCH STOCK IN THE THEORIES OF HIS GREAT RIVAL LARGELY BECAUSE HE WAS DETECTED BY INTUITION RATHER THAN BY STUDY OF THE SCIENCE YOU CAN'T BE WONT TO BUT IT IS BETTER NOT TO REJOINED HOLMES SIMPLY AS THOUGH NOT OBSERVING THE SNEER BECAUSE THE RIPPLE REPRESENTS THE OUTER LINE OF THE ANGLE OF DISTURBANCE IN THE WATER AND AS ANY ONE OF THE SIZE TO AN ANGLE IS GREATER THAN THE PERPENDICULAR FROM THE HYPOTHENUSE TO THE APEX YOU BE MERELY GOING THE LONG WAY THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FORMATION OF THE BOW OF THE HOUSEBOAT WHICH IS ROUNDED LIKE THE STERN OF MOST VESSELS AND COMES NEAR TO MAKING A PAIR OF RIPPLES AT AN ANGLE OF NINETY DEGREES THEN OBSERVED SIR WALTER WITH A SIGH OF DISAPPOINTMENT WE MUST CHANGE OUR COURSE AND SAIL FOR PARIS I AM AFRAID SO SAID HOLMES BUT OF COURSE IT'S BY NO MEANS CERTAIN AS YET I THINK IF COLUMBUS WOULD GO UP TO THE MIZZENOP AND LOOK ABOUT HIM HE MIGHT DISCOVER SOMETHING EITHER IN CONFIRMATION OR REFUTATION OF THE THEORY
